So sorry to hear about Ron's passing, my husband told me tonight. I was Riley's infant room teacher at ACCC, He was always very nice and such a good daddy. Many prayers go out to your family. Lots of love.

I wish I could have seen you one more time before you passed. But distance made this hard. Even though, I've rarely seen you, I miss you more than anyone could imagine. I love you Uncle Ron.

Joseph,
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how hard it must be for you, but I do know that your mother is a strong woman, and that she is there for you in every way. I hope that as time passes, that you will find comfort in the memories of times you shared with your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

While I did not know Ron personally, I do know his son, Joseph. Joseph is an outstanding young man, with many traits of his father. Joseph, too, is sweet and a joy to be around. Joseph, you have my prayers and sympathy for your loss. Remember the good times you had with your Dad and the things he talked to you about and the things he taught you. Always remember he loved you very much. May God Bless and watch over you at this time and in the future.

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF RON'S PASSING I ONLY KNEW HIM AS A CLASS MATE BUT HE WAS ALWAYS UPBEAT AND FRIENDLY TO ANYONE WHO KNEW HIM . MY SYPATHY TO HIS FAMILY I HAVE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS
THAT WOULD EASE YOUR SORROW, JUST REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD MEMORIES THAT WERE SHARED AMONGST FAMILY WILL HELP CARRY YOU ALONG WITH GODS STRENGTH .

I worked with Ron, kind of. He in Gainesville and me in Tallahassee. Every football season we swapped college schedules to produce in our respective markets. In the years that we "worked together" we also got to know each other a little bit (our work loads were always so crazy it didn't allow for much). But what I do know about Ron is that he is a great guy and will be sorely missed.
To his family and friends, please know that Ron made an impact with many and that the world was a better place with him in it.
This is for Ron, Go Gators!

The last time I spoke with Ron was in June of 1974 but I still consider him a friend with a kind word and friendly smile for everyone. I pray that God will comfort Ron's family and friends through this time of sorrow.

Dear Hope, Kristin, Rylee, Joseph, and Family ~

We were so blessed to have Ron in our lives. He was taken from us far too early; however, God had other plans for him. Losing Ron was a loss to everyone who knew and loved him, which was everyone he met!

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Our Heavenly Father, your family, your friends, and all of those beautiful and blessed memories you have with Ron will help you through this difficult time.

May you find comfort in knowing that God found the perfect place for Ron in Heaven, and now the sky, stars, sun, moon, galaxies, etc. will indeed shine brighter; they are highlighted by Ron!

Love, thoughts and prayers to you all!
