Bettie and family When your family were members at Grace Lutheran Church, where my late husband was Pastor, Ron was always willing to help as a Trustee and any other way he could. He had the best laugh and told wonderful stories. He was a good Christian man and I am thankful I got the opportunity to know him. You are in my prayers!! Big hug!!
