Ronald Melvin Lightner

Please accept my sympathy on your loss. Mr. Lightner was my history teacher at Rosemont Middle School in 1980. He is was of the few teachers that I have fond memories of...and made an impact in my life!

Daniel, Mark and Edward,
I would like to first extend my thoughts and prayers for your family. Im certain the grass trail that led between our front doors growing up has grown over. However,the memories have not diminished. I often think of how your dad managed his family. I use some of the same practices today with my daughters. He was a very kind and sharing person. I often recall the cookouts in your back yard, Rusty and the smell of your moms cookies.
sincerely

Ron was a good friend in Scouting and camping. Ron was a good friend of my Scoutmaster, Jack Boyd, (who also taught at Rosemont). Went camping with Ron at Worth Ranch and in Colorado and always enjoyed his friendship. Ron will be missed.

Ron Lightner was a wonderful part of the adult leadership for Boy Scout Troup 554 for many years. His ability to show genuine interest in each scout made each of the young men feel really important and able to live their lives by the scout motto. Ron was important to my family as he helped guide my son to become and Eagle Scout. That achievement will last a lifetime, thanks to Ron.

I also knew Ron and Ruth through their church and through Golden Eagles. They were friends with my...
