Maria and Family, I just heard of Ron's passing from my brother-in-law, Joe Crea, and was very saddened by the news. I will always remember Ron as a friendly man who would take time to ask everyone else how they and their families were. I pray that God will give you strength to get through the difficult days ahead. Remember the happy times. Dawn Weiner

Rosalyn, Lenny and the Sherman family,
Please accept our sincere sympathy at this very sad time. Ron was always a very pleasant and caring person and will be missed. He was very good to our daughter Brooke when she worked for him at the mall and also very caring to Hank's sister Karen during her illness.
The Lord has gained an angel and he will watch over you always.
