Ellen, Ed,Steve and families,We are so sorry for your loss. It was just a few weeks ago that Ron was out discing corn stalks in our fields next to the house. He would wave, smile and seemed in his glory in a tractor. He was a true farmer in his heart. He stopped and asked our grandson Teagan if he would like to ride but Teagan was too shy. Can't say we ever saw Ron when he wasn't happy. Please accept our condolences. Ernie and Bunny
