Ron was an upbeat man of strength and integrity with a kind heart, good-natured, but tough business philosophy and a great sense of humor. It was an honor to work with him and be counted as a friend.

I have many fond memories of Ron. He was a man who enjoyed life and always had positive things to say. I know he loved Liam very much and was so proud of him. Rest well, ol friend. We were all better for knowing you.

We enjoyed Ron's involvement at Cherry Valley Elementary School.
Each year when we planned our Veterans Day program, I knew Ron would be there.
He supported our CV students and proudly served our country.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Liam and family. God be with you.
