Ronald E Frith Jr.

Ron was an exceptionally intellegent child, and always curious about everything and  it was sometimes difficult to satisfy that curiousity, and this continued into his adult life.  He was so full of enthusiasm in every avenue of his life, whether it was his hobbies, work, or his family,  and he could easily bring you into his realm of excitement .  His conversations were never boring, argumenative maybe,  but never boring.  He could light up a room with his presence.  His zest for life and the things he wanted to accomplish were many, but the most important thing in his life was his young son and his wife. The last few months before his death his greatest desire was waiting for the day when his son could walk and follow him into the woods or just walk beside him in whatever they did, and teach him everything he could.   

We feel his presence everywhere and we strongly believe he is watching over his family. 

You are with us my son, everyday, and through eternity .

Born: Apr 08, 1975 in Martinsburg W VA

Died: Mar 29, 2009 in Wilmington NC

About: Ron was a veteran, having served four years in the Navy, and a member of the National Rifle Association .
