Dear Jenny and John,
What a special person Ron was. Despite all he had to deal with, he never lost his interest in the world around him and most of all in his family for whom he cared so deeply. When I think of his fight with illness, one word comes to mind: perserverence. He just refused to ever give up. He was a dear friend as well as a patient. I stand in awe of his commitment to life and to rising above the many challenges in his life. May he now rest in our Lord's loving presence for he has truly fought hard all his life to finish the race.

Dear Mrs. Pilato and John,
I did Ron's PFT's when he came for a clinic visit. He had such and infectious laugh that I can still hear today. He was a special person who brought laughter and sunshine in the lives he touched. I hope that he is in peace now and will live in in the hearts of those who knew him. My deepest sympathies for your loss.

Dear Mrs. Pilato,
Ron will always be the most special person I ever cared for while working on 4-1400. We kept in touch with Christmas cards for a long time and I will always cherish all the memories of him and your family. I am thankful that I got to know all of you. You will be in my prayers
