Krass Family: Jim and I are so very sorry for your loss. We will miss Ron immensely. We pray the planting of this tree will bring joy to everyone just as Ron gave such joy to us. I will miss his “howdy neighbor” greeting. He was an inspiration to everyone in the neighborhood. Love Jim and Cindy Sidow
