I was sad to hear of Ron's passing. I know he was active in the Masonic Organization and was always taking his daughter Joy and Wendy to the officials for Rainbow Girls as Grand Officers. I will never forget him and his wife. My sympathy goes to his daughter and son and family. May he rest in peace.
