Connie & Family,
Although it has been many years we have never forgotten all the fun we had with you both. I always got a laugh over his passion for big time wrestling. Ron helped Mike put his 1947 Plymouth together from scratch and Mike has never forgotten him or you and your family. He was a great man, always smiling and he was so very proud of you and your family. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Was so sad when I heard about Ron..I worked with him at GM. I remember when his daughter gave him a perm and we all teased him and called him Orville Reddenbacher the popcorn man. He was such a nice guy and made us laugh every day will miss the times we shared at GM...condolences to family, Joyce Rice
