Not sure what to say?

Did Ronald once live in Akron Ohio<br /><br />

Tom & family;
So sorry to find out about your loss-
please accept my sympathies.

Marilyn: As has been said hundreds of times we'll all miss Ron's gentleness and huge smile. It was great being involved with him these years in Rotary. He was always the man with the answers. Be assured we will pray for him and you and the family.

Sincerely,
Tony and Patti McDonald

Marilyn and family, I was just thinking of Ron last week. I would see Ron at the Sections Track meet. We had our first track meeting. I wanted to tell Ron that Sections was moved from Carleton to Lakeville South. Ron was such a kind, gentle, supportive person. Peace be with you.

Karna, I am so sorry for your loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.

Dear Oliphant Family,

My heart goes out to you as you grieve over the loss of you loved one. Papa O was a special man to Mason whom I do child care for. May your love for your dear one never diminish, only the pain. Blessings,

I can hear Ron singing in Heaven's chior. He was always such a kind person. God has another Angel....
