Rosemary and Family,
We are so sorry to lose Ron. He was a very bright and fun
man resulting in lots of friends including us. He was
a very knowledgeable sports fan and bled black and gold.
He was an active and productive citizen giving generously of his
time, intelligence, and experience for the better good all the while
being a dedicated family man.
We feel fortunate to have known and enjoyed Ron.
Our faith sustains us throughout life and now. Our
prayers are for your whole family.
