To the family of Ron Farrell I´m really sorry for your loss. He was very kind and loving man. He come over several times to see Phil and Phil really enjoyed his company. I´m sorry I didn´t make it to the viewing or the funeral. I was in the hospital and now I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you and it really upset me when I heard about our loss of a wonderful person. God bless all of you, and may God give you strength to get through this horrible time

To the Farrell sisters: I was so sad to read of your dad´s passing. Of all the friends my parents, also Dick and Anita Smith, had during their many years together, your dad and mom were among their favorite couples. I know your dad will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

I can still recall visits with my parents, Dick and Anita Smith, to the Farrell household at 833 Burnett Rd., before Ron moved the family to South Charleston. I will always remember Ron as one of the nicest people my Mom and Dad ever knew. My deepest condolences to his family.
