My sympathy to all the family and friends. I met Ron through Bill Osborne many years ago and immediately found a new and good friend. We drifted apart but I always remembered his good nature and friendly attitude.

Betty and family, we met in the Cardio Vascular #1 Waiting Room at St. Luke's. Our brother, Joseph, is our beloved patient. We enjoyed meeting and comforting each other during very trying times. You made our difficult days bright with your kind words and compassion despite your own troubles. Our family is heartbroken about your great loss. Dear Jesus is holding Ron and your wonderful family in His holy care. We will be in prayer for peace and healing. I will wear a "coat of many colors" in honor of Ron.
With love and respect,
