Ron was a dear friend. He came into my shop one day and we just hit it off. We would talk forever about whatever politically incorrect subject we enjoyed at that time and we talked about family and friends. He was always wondering how our kids were doing and they enjoyed talking with him on the phone after we moved South. I spoke with him about a month before he passed and he was at peace with his position and he told me he was ready he just didn’t want to leave Kay. He truly loved her and she was always his biggest concern. Ron was a good man with a gentle heart and we will miss him until we meet again. And one thing I’m sure of, he will have a great story about his time in heaven, before we sit down at his side. Peace be with Kay and the family and all his friends of the world.
