Ronald Edward Erickson

Dear Keiko & Julie,
Hard to realize that Ron has been gone since 2007, and Daddy, Paul Dey, since 2017 with my sweet Dennis 2018. Time movies so fast! It doesn't seem that long ago that we shared your joy of Julies making you and Ron a family of three! No less meeting you for the first time in Moses Lake, as a teenager and you new to the USA. Our family became larger that day!

As I think of and remember you both and Ron!

We love you always,
Victoria...

Dear Keiko & Julie,

I was very upset at the news of Ron's passing. I didn't get the chance to get to know you as well as I would have liked, but due to your relationship with my grandparents over the years, (Imogene & Paul Dey) and the stories I would hear, I have always felt like you were distant family members.

I will miss Ron's whitty words in his Christmas cards.

My heart goes out to you both and I'll be keeping you both in my prayers!!

Love always,

Dear Keiko & Julie,
We are so sorry about Ron. We were shocked and dissapointed. Even though so far apart most of the years we have known you we felt a closeness. Love you both, Imogene & Paul

I was shocked to hear of Ron's passing. There are people you think will always be in your life. He will always be in our memories as will you Keiko.

I was a teenager when I met you and Ron, when he was stationed in Moses Lake with my dad, Paul Dey.

You both are special people that know the meaning of family and friends. It was so special when you flew to Phoenix for my parents 50th anniversay. It meant so much to all of us.

You and Julie are both in my prayers. If ever...

My condolences to Keiko and the family on the passing of Ron. As you know, he MC'd our class reunion three years ago and was absolutly spectacular. We will miss him.

Best wishes,

Dick Purtan

I met Ron and Keiko in 1959, they had just married and Ron and my father were stationed at Larson AFB in Moses Lake, Washington. Ron has always meant a lot to us and he is greatly missed. My thoughts are now with Keiko and Julie, I pray that she will have the comfort from God to carry on.

Keiko and Julie,
How sad we were to hear that Ron has passed away. We didn't realize just how sick he was. I was in the midst of writing a card to him when I found out.
We never met him, but,through our long conversations on the phone, he felt like he was a brother to me, and I felt like he knew him all of my life. What a loss. I am thankful for the time he spent on family tree history, and I love him for it.
He taught me so much. I will miss his jokes and keen sense of humor. He was...

I was shocked and in disbelief when I heard of Ron's death. I will miss him. My sympathy goes out to Keiko and Julie.

Keiko I am very sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Although I only met him for a few days in the UP, he taught me so much about my Erickson & Norweigion heritage. I will miss the tidbits of information that he kept digging up. My prayers are with you and Julie. I know Ron is keeping watch over us all.
