I was saddened at the news of Ron's passing. During our time together with the Providence Police Department, I came to know him as kind and genuine person. He had a unique sense of humor and could always come up a one-liner at the most appropriate time.
My sympathies to his family. I had not seen Ron in years, but I know that will be missed by all his family and friends.

I worked with Ron out of Sub-2 being a young police officer Ron was the guy we always confided in and looked up to. I remember his huge nightstick he was so proud of. A great police officer and friend who loved life. God Bless Ron and his Family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ron and all of you and take comfort in knowing your beloved is in no more pain and is wrapped in God's warm and loving arms. With our sincere and deepest sympathies, Love, Caroline & Ron Schopac
