The photo shows Dave Willson, Me and Ron. It appeared in the Sellwood-Moreland Bee in the Spring of 1965 recognizing us as Cleveland High School students participating in the summer tour of Youth for Christ Continentals.

So thankful for Ron's compassion and wonderful spirit at our family's difficult times.

To Ruth and Family: We are so sorry to know of Ron's death. He helped so many folks' families in death. We are grateful for Ron's help when our folks died. Just recently our brother Clay Wilhelm died at age 81. He has known Ron for years, too.Ron's voice is what Mom asked for when she died in 2015 @ 100 years of age. He meant a lot to her too and Dad.

I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He helped our family in many different ways. He was always very comforting and friendly. He was a good friend in high school, which is where I met him. I am sending my thoughts and prayers for all of Ron's family.

Thank you for the strength you gave me at CHS, with Continentals, and after.
