My heart goes out to Ronda, Brandon, and Justin. I know you know what an awesome father and friend you've shared with others! I worked at LeeTelecom for only about a year, but I remember the many things Ron did for the Staff: flowers & food. I loved his office. He knew I loved his office and his Dream Catchers!!! May God be with all the close friends and family.

I never had the opportunity to get to know Ron as well as I wished I had. Although my few meetings with him were always pleasant and uplifting. However, I do recall all of the stories that my Dad shared with me about their long friendship and the great times that they shared as well. It is those stories that show me what an incredible father, friend and businessman Ron truly was.

Rhonda and Family, I'm terribly sorry about the loss of your father and best friend. Everytime I encountered your father he was being an incredible friend and offering such kind words. I remember when I was going through a tough time and he gave me "something to love"- My Bird. When my brothers were struggling he did the same thing and when my Dad was going through the hardest times in his life your father was a life saver. The best friend a man could have ever had and I will be eternally thankful for you father. He had the brightest and biggest smile and such a wonderfully hearty laugh!!! He will be forever missed by my family for certain. We are so thankful God shared him with us!

I was very sad to read about your Dad's passing. He has been one of my customers at the bank for many years. One of my favorite customers I must say. He always had a smile and only good things to say about life and his family. He would bring me back funny little nicknacs from his travels because he always remembered I collected them. So I will always have fond memories of our conversations and a warm place in my heart when I look at the trinkets in my boxed window each day. One thing I know for sure he LOVED his family!
