We loved getting to know Ron and Sue when they rented for the winter in Florida. Such an asset to our community. Fun to have around and so helpful. Their faith was very evident and I admired their respect for each other. A true testimony to a long and wonderful marriage. As you go forth Sue. I can only imagine the heartache you have but rest assured you will meet again.
With love and oceans of blessings ,

Allison Contris says
Uncle Ron was a one-in-a-million man. So full of life, love and kindness. His warm and caring energy is forever in my heart. I’m thankful for the love and time he generously gave me.
Lisa & Eric says
We so enjoyed our time with Ron. We admired how well he could carve and serve a platter of meats, how he could put an amazing outfit together and always look perfectly groomed, and how he obviously enjoyed his feisty wife and awesome kids and grandkids. Most of all, we’ll remember how he reacquainted himself with his savior this past year and loved God’s Word. Ron will be missed by so many earthlings but welcomed with a party in heaven. Our prayers go up for all who grieve, but we’re grateful that “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Ps. 147:3 Much Love, The Rice Family

Sue, Amy, Kristen and Boys, There is so much I could say about Ron, your husband, father, and grandfather, most of which has already been said, I will miss his smile, and the warm hug he always had for me. He was more a brother than just a friend. His acceptance of his Lord and Savior is the best gift he has given those who are still here. We will see him again in Heaven when God calls us home.
My love and prayers are with you Sue, and your family.
Love NJ
Shannon Elhart says
Ron will always have a special place in my heart. I have very fond memories of my extended ‘family’ with the Hoffmans – all the girls running around, vacationing, playing games, being silly… and Ron always ready with kind words and a warm hug. He really was an angel of a person – his kind and gentle spirit were so sincere. I am blessed to have had him as part of my life.
Bart and Kathy Arrigo says
To Sue and Family, my memories of Ron goes all the way to our high school days. He loved sports and was a great athlete. Always enjoyed getting together over the years. Ron was was just one of those “good guys”. Will miss him.
Norm Ratzman says
I was browsing the internet recently when I came across Ron’s obituary. I was totally shocked and saddened. Although we had lost touch many years ago, I often thought of you both.
With our most sincerest condolences.
