RON was a peaceful, loving man. His spirit will never be gone. His love carries on, very much alive in your hearts and souls to bring his spirit into the now and the future. During this time you will embrace this truth to lift him into Heaven where his example will, in turn, lift your spirits to the heights where he resides.

Melissa and Christie, I didn’t know your dad but you spoke of him often in such a positive way. He leaves a large legacy in his family. From reading his obituary, it is so apparent that he was a family man, a good soldier and very active in his retirement. I am so sorry for your loss.
Johnnie (Meema) Whetstone says
I am glad Melissa, Ron and Christie were there with their dad before he died. My prayers are with all of Ron’s family. Ron was a great dad and he loved his kids very much. Rest in peace Ron!!!!
