To Ron Jr. and family,
Buddy your father was great! I really miss the old times with him. He was a class act, and really as good a friend to me as you are. Take it eazy buddy.

Laura and Ronny,
We're so sorry to hear about Uncle Ron. He put up a good fight but now he's at peace.
Laura, I feel like we shared parents along with Tracy and now we've lost all of our Dads. We were very lucky to have them all looking out for us, especially back in the days when we thought we were invincible.
I get through losing my Dad by knowing he's still there for me. Trust me, it helps.
Love,

MARYJO AND JIMMY WESTCOTT

Sorry to read of Ron's passing. I met Ron while I was working at Cathedral Prep. He always had a soft spot in his heart for the school, and he loved each of the students as if they were his own. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Ron was my first boss when I began work-study at Cathedral Prep back in '89. He was a little more laid back than Howard (Donofrio), which led to many fun times on the job (i.e, when we all hid from him in the basement wrestling room and he threatened to lock us down there if we didn't come out!). Good times. He helped instill in me humility and responsibility - two things necessary to do good in this world. I didn't see him much after those 2 years of work study, just occasionally around the school. Take comfort in the fact that you will see him again. God bless you and your family!
