Dear Joy (and everyone else who knew and loved Ron),
For some reason Ron was on my heart and mind today, after all the many years since I last saw y'all. Ron was one of my most dear friends, the best boss ever (as my supervisor at my first career job at New Hampshire Insurance), and just a generally cool, great guy. I have been on a long, interesting road since those days in the mid-80's when Ron and I would work hard and play hard.
Love and Condolences,
- Russ

Joy, I am so sorry to hear about Ron I
Just heard about this in the Sorrento News Letter! I used to run into him on his way To Venice when I used to walk around the neighborhood! What on earth happened? . He seemed so physical fit compared to me? I actually can't believe he's gone! My deepest sympathy to you and your family!

Joy,

I just learned about Ron's passing from mutual friend Chris Hicklin. I am so deeply sorry. I so enjoyed being your neighbor in Sorrento South. I remember me always making sure Ron put up the Reindeer at Christmas time. I will come by and see you soon. My phone is 941-544-4800 if you need anything at all. I will pray for you every single day.
Love Sue (Deveso) Waxman
