Ron was a long-time and faithful tutor at UNIQUE Learning Center. He always had a smile on his face and a servant's heart. I'll miss you, both at UNIQUE and at NPC, Ron. But you are in the Lord's presence now. It's time to rejoice!

I loved working with Ron, he was always happy and smiling. I will miss doing floor duty with him and talking about our lives. Some people you like as soon as you meet them and Ron was like that. My condolences to his family.

I will very much miss Ron's ready humour, gentle kindness, and unfailing thoughtfulness of others. He was a great support to his circle of friends. He loved music, and we shared some great experiences at the Washington Opera. He could always brighten up a gathering of us, whether at restaurants or on the various road trips we sometimes did. He was a joy to work with, as our landlord and later when we bought his former house. Elm Avenue has lost a genuinely fine soul.

I'm going to miss seeing Ron's smiling face every Sunday heading for the choir room at NPC. I'm going to miss his love for life and his sense of humor, his gentleness and his kindness. I rejoice that we were able to share some great experiences together in South Africa, but am saddened he has been taken from us so soon...

Ron, I still can't believe you won't be there sitting at phone duty when I walk into the office. I will miss you very much. I so wish we could of had more time to get to know each other better. I know we would of become great friends. You always were so full of kindness and always smiling. I will miss that most of all. You always brightened my day. I will try to apply that attitude to my life and if anyone ever says "you are so nice", I will think of you and say ,"it's Ron.

I was so saddened to hear about the passing on my friend, Ron. As part of "The birthday group" I shared many meals with Ron. He always had a smile on his face, and a kind word to say. I remember that on one of his birthdays he chose a Mexican place for his birthday dinner. He sported a brightly decorated sombraro and all of the employees sang a loud, festive birthday song in spanish. Ron really enjoyed that very loud, friend filled evening. We all did. I admired your love of God that we all shared. Sleep with the angles my friend. Soozie

Ron, you will always be with me as my friend and I will never forget you. I love you and hope that you are with your parents now. I will miss you forever. Your friend, Katie Helene
