To Ronnie Jr. and Family, my deepest sympathy during this time of loss. As an old R.C. Cola driver, I have many memories of those days and will especially now keep the ones of Ron closer, and as always, in my prayers.

Marilyn and family,
Words seem so inadequate at a time like this. I am so sorry to hear about Ron.
I grew up hearing Ron Vasil stories from my dad. And Tony just adored Ron. What a crew those RC guys were! I remember Ron at the RC Cola picnics and when I worked in the office during summers. Ron was such a nice and funny guy and always positive.
My prayers are with Ron and your family.
