My husband and I were shocked and saddened to learn of Ron's passing. He removed our snow for quite a few years and always had a bright smile and a cheerful disposition. Our sincere sympathy to his entire family.

I'd like to extend my heart felt condolences to the entire Ringel family.
I enjoyed spending time with Ron and his siblings when we were all were just little kids over on 14th street. We had some great times together.
Also, I had the pleasure of bowling with Ron at the DeKalb Recreation bowling alley. I always enjoyed Ron's company. We had a nice long conversation at Mardis Gras Lanes last summer. It was great seeing him again. I can't believe he's gone. At least I know he's in a better place.
Ron, I will miss you my friend. Until we meet again.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!

I have so many happy memories of Ronnie, from playing football in the backyard of the 7th Street house to watching him hold his baby daughter. He was a good man and will be sorely missed. Blessings to you Karen, and everyone in your family who will continue to love him and cherish his memory.
