My brother-in-law Ron and my sister, Martha, had a long, wonderful life together. They truly loved each other and their two sons, as well as their extended family. Now they are together again.
RIP Ron Hanley. You were truly a good man.

When I had a greenhouse business and had plants shipped in via Delta, Ronnie was always there to see to my shipment. So sorry to hear of his passing. Phyllis Munz Bills, Waggener '63.

Ron was a great friend. We coached baseball together, fished together and he and Martha were the dearest of friends to Elsie and me. I have so many wonderful memories of Ron, and the memorable times we had together. When a person who has shared so much of your life passes on a little bit of you goes with him. That's how I feel today. My deepest sympathy to Cris and all who loved him.

So sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He was a dear friend that I shared many fun times with like boating, camping, softball or just having a cold beer together with other friends. He will be sorely missed.
