Jennifer and family. Ron had a unique personality. I remember him always smiling, always joking, always singing ("Don't Worry, Be Happy") which often came in handy doing our job. I was his Assistant in the Sp.Ed. classroom at Clearview Elementary. He was one of a kind, and his students loved him. He had a unique way of teaching. God bless. Love Debbie & Mario Anfiteatro.

Danyi Family, please accept my most sincere sympathy with the passing of Ron. Having met Ron while he was part of the Summer Head Start program faculty in the Northampton Area SD our friendship clicked immediately. Ron served as a good role model for the children in the program as well as some of the male volunteers. He was always willing to add assistance wherever it was needed. We had many enjoyable days that summer. I didn't get to see Ron as frequently during the regular school year.also my responsibilities changed and he eventually transferred to BASD.Although I haven't seen him for a few years I never forgot him. He will be missed by those who knew him.Distance prohibits my attending his funeral but I will remember him in my prayers .May he RIP
