It is of great regret I did not have the pleasure to meet Ron or his family. I am so sorry for your loss and are keeping you in my prayers. He put others above and before himself. Being the wife of a police officer I am well aware of the dangers of certain professions, his being one. You will continue to be in my prayers and I will keep Ron in my heart, he is and will always be an unsung hero.

It was a pleasure working with Ron. I considered him a fellow brother lineman and also a brother in Christ. This is not a final good-by however, because Ron knew Jesus as his personal Savior. Those of us who are saved, WILL see Ron again in Heaven. I will be praying for you all.
