Donna and Family,

We will never forget Ron's funny laugh or his goofy smile. He always had a way of cheering one up, even if they didn't want to. He was a service to our Country, our Fire Department, and our friends.

Now he will be looking out for all of us and I feel comforted by that, I hope that helps you as well.

So much love,

Jim and Judi Hinkle
