We'll never forget Ron, he was a wonderful person, a superb tile and marble contractor who I worked with. We shared many deer hunting trips together and I pray that one day I'll meet him in God's heavenly domain. David Juchnik

My employees, sub-Contractors, and customers think of and speak of Ron often..
He was more than an associate - he was a good friend! Even though we were working it felt more like social time with stories and laughs throughout! Customers still talk about his great work and very pleasant experience, and those that were not aware of his passing are completely shocked and saddened to hear it.
I will probably think about and miss him forever with all the memories he left behind.
I was blessed by knowing him for so long!!

Ron was my best friend and hunting buddy for over 20 years, as a Realtor during slow periods I helped Ron and his brother Rick lay tile in the LV area and New Jersey. My Wife Barbara and my heart is so saddened with Ron's passing. We pray for Ron and his wife, children, brothers and relatives that God will hold his and their hands during this traumatic time. May Ron be reunited in heaven with his father and previously departed relatives and friends, and find enternal peace. We will never forget Ron and his family, and one day we will see Ron in Heaven.
Words can't describe the sorrow my wife Barbara and I feel in our hearts at this time. Any member of the Perkowski family can contact us for anything they may need anytime. God Bless Ron and all members of his family. David and Barbara Juchnik, Schnecksville, PA.
