Dear Copier Family:
We will all miss Ron being in our lifes. What a great person,friend and son he was. We enjoyed the times we were with Ron, we will miss his great hugs and smiles. He made softball a lot of fun to watch.
We will miss his grunts just before hitting the ball. Ron has been in and out of our lifes. We first met him when he worked at Megahertz with our son David, and son-in-law Bob Ycmat. Then there he was again on softball teams and a good friend of our daughter-in-law,Chris and brother Chad. He attendend all our childrens weddings and we were so glad to have him there. Ron became a friend to everyone he met along lifes path. We were so glad to have visited him at his home a few weeks ago. My husband will miss golfing with Ron, he says he knows Ron has found that perfect driver. We were to have missed the services for Ron but we understand it was a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man.
With our love to Ron and his family

To The Copier Family,
I was very sad to hear that Ron had passed away. I went to school with Ron since elementary school, in fact there was probably a Madsen with all of the Copiers! I was not a close friend but I always remember him as one of the nicest guys in school. He always had a smile and everyone liked him.
Sincerely,

I am sorry to learn of this gentle man's leaving us. At work, sitting across the aisle from him for a couple of years at Future, I was blessed daily with his wit and beautiful smile, as well as his stories of his animal menagerie.
I know he was loved and will be missed by many. God Bless you Ron.

Ron, the world was definitely a better place with you in it, thanks for your friendship and kindness to me, my wife and our kids. You were always unselfish with your time and willing to put a smile on someones face, especially if it involved children. My son will never forget you letting him ride your horse. Thanks for being a great athlete. I'll never forget the county rec basketball game you won for us in the last 6 seconds of the game. The outcome put us in first place which we held till the final week. We were down by 1 point 6 seconds left and we had the ball. I immediately suggested Ron dribble down to left side of foul line, make contact and shoot. Ron did just that, drew the foul, made the jumpshot and the foul shot and we won by 2. Ron had the uncanny ability to be himself and never get flustered that is why he became the go to guy whenever we were in a tight spot. Ron you took charge in all that you did. You are one of the most respected, beloved individuals that I've ever known. It was great to work out with you at the Gym except for the fact we kept getting interrupted every few minutes from people who wanted to say hi to ya. What can you say, everybody loves Ron:
Keep em honest up there will ya: One day we'll hit the gym again and see if you still got it, if I remember right the last time we went I outbenched you: That ought to get you going!!
Lots of love,
Your friends Bert,Audrey and boys:
PS your funeral service was great: What a great family you have, no wonder you had nothing but good things to say about them, especially your parents, it was a pleasure to meet them for the first time:

I had the priviledge of knowing and working with Ron for eight years at Avnet. He was loved and respected by all. I am proud to call him my friend. In the words of Brian O'Very, who put it so eloquently, " The world was a better place having Ron in it."
He will be truly missed.

Dear Copier Family:
My brother, Jim, sent me the obituary of your son and brother, Ron's, passing. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It has been many years since my family lived on Creekview Circle and my brother, J.B. and I were good friends with Govert, John and Jeannie. I think of the wonderful years we were there a lot. I still miss J.B. everyday eventhough it has been almost 36 years since he died in Viet Nam. I know you will miss Ron always. I also know you will be strengthened with the knowledge that you will see him again in a much better place. Our love and sympathy goes out to all of you.
Sincerely,
Gene (Georgene) Thornton-Brennan & James H. Brennan

It was a great pleasure and honor to have Ronald as my friend . I'll miss and cherish all the discussions and debates we had in our little corner of the office. I'll miss his beautiful singing voice when he decided to sing one of the songs from the musicals, the Sound of Music or Oklahoma. My deepest condolences to his family, He will be missed by everyone he touched.

My most cherished memory of Ron was in a group outing. We had persuaded him to sing some show tunes, Ron had a marvellous voice. For his big finish he dumped a full drink in my lap. I will miss his sense of humour he was a caring person and a great employee.

The Copier Family,
Our deepest sympathy to you-
My husband and I met Ron a cruise we went on with some friends. We had the time of our lives! Ron had a wonderful smile, a great sense of humor, and a fun character! He was always making you laugh! He had a basketball in one hand and always dancing~ His love for horses will continue as he starts his new journey. We saw him a year ago when he came to visit California, we went to the horse races, and movies! We will treasure all those memories. I will miss him emailing me and making me smile just because of all the funny things he would write!

Ron was such a wonderful person and his love for those around him was always evident. Though I have lost touch since the "Bay" days and haven't seen Ron for about a year - his memory will last forever and the good times we shared. My sincere sympathy goes to your family as this is a terrible loss. May you find peace in knowing he has gone on to a new adventure.

Oh, the many fun memories of the Copier household in the 70's! And Ron was such a big part of it all. Always the peacemaker, the kind one. He will truly be missed by all those who were blessed to cross his path in this life. My love and prayers go out to the entire Copier family, especially to Shirley and Govert & Freddie.

I only knew Ron for a shortime since June of last year.We have the same interests, the love of horses.
I have been Rons trainer for two of his horses, one of his favorites Dancer CC, He had asked me to go on with the success of CC training, which I shall do so.
We had a good working relationship and a good business man.
I must say Ron was the best owner I ever had we had a trust between us which makes for a good business partnership.
He sure was a son to be proud of and I will miss him dearly and I will keep his favorite horse running in his memory. Pat Fredo TB Race Horse Trainer@ [email protected]

I had the pleasure in working with Ron at my 4 years at Avnet. He always seemed to make me laugh no matter how I was feeling. Recently in Feb 2003 had a 7Day Cruise with him and 7 of my other friend for which he knew no one and still had the time of his life. He was excited to go, he made such an impact to my friends and not to mention the other passengers on the ship. He was known as "UTAH" by many of the other guests. HE MADE FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE.
I will miss Our "UTAH BOY" and will remember him always.
My condolences to the entire Copier family. My Prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
