Judi,
Our condolences to you and the rest of the family. This is so difficult to write because Ron meant so very, very much to me. He was such a warm and loving person who was totally devoted to his family, including all of us. He had such a wonderful sense of humor and could deliver jokes with a huge smile or totally straight-faced with the most mischievous twinkle in his eyes. I loved his huge laugh when he would almost be in tears or almost couldn't catch his breath but still couldn't stop laughing and slapping his knee! People who didn't know him well would probably be surprised to know he was one of the silliest people you could ever be around. I will never forget all the wonderful times we spent together.
Ron was a polite, gracious individual who displayed class and manners, sophistication and savoir faire. He commanded respect and worked very hard to achieve the many things he accomplished in his life, and he always had the utmost concern as to the needs of all those he loved and cared for.
I have been very depressed and upset since learning of my buddy's passing and feel like my heart has been torn apart, but at the same time, Judi, Ron's magic will help all of us who loved him move forward. That very special magic Ron had was the ability to find where Jesus resided in the heart of a friend or family member, and then promptly move in right beside Him. That way we could carry the love of both with us at all times. And that is the love that will carry us all through whatever our futures may bring!!!!
God bless you, Judi!!!!!!!! We love you very much!!!!!!!!!

Ron was a special friend to me and my husband. He was kind, gentle and had such a joyful laugh. I will forever remember all the special times we got to share with him, the laughter and fun we shared, especially when playing Skipbo. We love you and will be truly missed.
