Ron was my Godfather , he was such a big part of my life growing up. Though we haven't seen each other as much over the last years , he still showed he cared..dropping off wooden reindeers for my kids and fixing a toy box he made me when he was all of 16. Until my husband actually met him he though there was an elf leaving us presents ;) I regret not spending much time with him as the years went on ..you always think there is time :( I will miss you Ron .
Love Sandy

I was sad to hear that Ron passed. I heard so many wonderful stories when I was married to Bob about Ron and even though It's been many years, I remember him as kind, funny and very very "bearded". To Pricilla, his wife and children...I am so sorry for your loss.

Mr. Cozza, you will be greatly missed. I can rememeber just recently how we all celebrated the summer birthdays and holidays and how much of a blessing it was to be able to have shared that time with you. No more pain, suffering or disappointment that this world has shown to so many of us, you are at peace and our prayers are with your family. Thank you for the laughter and love you have brought to the lives around you, you will be forever in the hearts of the people that your life has touched.

I will miss Ron deeply. I remember the fun we had together during our 3rd-6th grade boys Stockade program at Rutherford Bible Chapel, the infamous night fishing trip he organized, the wonderful hospitality he and his family showed my family, and the bond we share being grand fathers to our wonderful grandsons Joey and Gino. There is comfort in knowing that Ron is at home with his Savior Jesus Christ and that we will meet again.
