Joan and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Ron was such a sweetheart. He had a smile that could make you feel good when you were sad or down. He was a kind man. Always had nice things to say. When I would run into him he would always ask about the rest of my family how they were doing. He was one in a million. My heart and prayers go out to all of you.
