Ron was just 6 days younger than me. I always knew him as a funny and fun-loving guy. I have looked for him at various reunions to tell him how much his great sense of humor cheered me up all through high school especially.

May he rest in peace in is heavenly home. May the Lord comfort his family.
Hugs, and blessings, Liz Cojanis Behne
