Dear Paul,
The bond between you and your Father will last forever, in your memories. In the few years I knew him, he was nothing other than kind, caring, and generous. From all those who had the privilege of knowing him longer, I am certain that those are a few of the characteristics he will be remembered for.
May you find comfort in knowing you were his pride and joy; may the good times shared always be at the forefront of your mind, and may your Dad rest peacefully.
My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you, and Christy . . . he loved you both so very much.

I send you my sincere condolences on the passing of your Dad. Your dad loved you and spoke highly of you. I would meet up with your dad and Ed Ryan many times at lunch downtown. Your dad always made me laugh. He enjoyed life. I will miss him deeply.

Paul,
Your dad was more than a customer to me; he was a friend. His word was his bond. He was kind, quick witted, funny, and always trying to help others if he could. I will miss him. It was an honor and pleasure to know him. He was very proud of you and I hope you find comfort in that fact, in the days ahead. You and your family will be in my prayers.

God's Blessings,

Ron Gesl and I were best friends for 61 years...I had the pleasure of growing up and growing old wth Ronnie.Ron was always eager to get together to share companionship, fond memories or discuss the small and large issues of the day...always informed and with unique perspectives and insights. Ron was always supportive, generous of his time and spirit and always a gentlemen. An important and significant part of me dies with Ron but I am truly blessed to be able to replace that part with so many fond memories of Rons enthusiastic and caring companionship. Goodbye my friend and may God bless you and your wonderful son Paul who you were so proud of and who you loved so very, very much, love, your eternal friend,Jack Wintermute
