I worked with Ron at United Grocers for 33 years. He was fun to be around. Had some good times together

Our family fondly remembers the Dove family. Our Dad Joe Almand and Ron coached my brother, Stuart & Bobby Dove's baseball team. My Mom and Dad just loved the Dove family. My sisters and I were always baseball supporters. We ran into the Doves in Manzanita when we were rebuilding a beach house there in 2016. That's when we found out they had a beach place in Neadonna.

Jim worked with Ron for over thirty years. Ron was a great friend and a great storyteller.
