Ron, along with Susan, was the first person to greet me each Sunday morning as we arrived at church. I will miss his faithfulness to the Lord. His gentle spirt inspired me to be more faithful in my own walk. Joyce Coley

Dad you are amazing person and you taught me so many things, but just recently something very important. That life is so precious and how we should cherish every family member. That is to never hold a long grudge against anyone important in your life. You may never know when you will talk, laugh or cry with them again. Thank God, I was able to do all three things before you passed away. Forever in my heart, your loving son, Tim
