He was not just my grandfather but he was my only father. I miss those awesome BBQs,and his meatloafs and crap nights! Till this day his humor and happiness still lives on...and the camping trips will never be the same without his signature Smurfs (smores) and the fishing trips never got old...❤

Ron and I met OVER a DANCE FLOOR I will always remember his recipe for Cowboy Meatloaf. I know the phrase "get er done" originated from Ron. One day we will be taking a break out back together Ron. Sandy

I was fortunate enough to work with Ron for two years at the Trinidad Rancheria. He always brought laughter and fun to whatever he was doing and to all he interacted with. He will be greatly missed by everyone who had the pleasure to know him!! Much love to you Ron!

It was my pleasure to work with Ron for the past 5 1/2 years. I considered him more than a co-worker, but also a friend. He was a one of a kind person and will truely be missed. His sense of humor made any situation bearable... one of the very last things he said to me was an off the wall funny remark. We love you Ron!
