Ron was a true hero, not only in his service to his country in war, but also in life. I looked up to him when I was younger. When I would see him around Bennett and New Liberty from time to time over the years, he always had a smile and a joke. My condolences to the family. GWS

Ron was the sunlight on a cloudy day every Wednesday I had the pleasure of going out and seeing him through Heartland Hospice. He always laughed at my stupid jokes and always knew if I was having an off day, he always knew what to say to brighten my day. He will be so greatly missed by me. Ty to his family for sharing him with me. He was such a blessing.

We send our deepest sympathy to the family of Ron. He and Ron were lifelong friends, attending Bennett school, running around with Ron’s brother Dick and my cousin Leon, as well as sharing memories of times at Buford’s and their tours in Vietnam. Sincerely, Ron and Cindy Helmold

Numerous & countless hours teamed up & spent working with him at the city job and I enjoyed hanging out, talking & making the best of it. Many lunch breaks. Crossword puzzles, funny story’s,etc.
He was an huge Animal lover, Solid guy, great storyteller, good heart and I always appreciated his incite and experience in life suggestions.
He was a good friend and his story’s almost always included family. I’m sorry for his kids & the family’s loss. Ron was a good guy and I’ll miss him....

My sympathy goes out to all of Ron's family and friends. Merle and Ron were friends, went to school together and I'm sure they created a little havoc together. Thank you for your service, Ron. Many fun memories at Bufords, especially on taco night. God bless you and rest in peace Ron.
