Pat, Ron, Gaye and Gina

Kathi and I were so sorry to hear of your loss. I enjoyed some fun times on the golf course with Ron. I remember when he invited me to play in a member/guest tournament at Cypress Creek and we won! All of his buddies there thought he had brought in a ringer. That is a fond memory for me. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. If we can be of any help don't hesitate to contact us.
