To the Ronnie Pelkey family. Hard to call him Ron as was always Ronnie when we were growing up in Waterbury. I was so glad to see him when his brother John passed last year. Had been along time. God Bless him and family.

I remember Ron and Ruth from their days at Youth Ministry. Ron always ran great games. I especially remember that Ron always gave my little boy a funny hat every time he saw him. Ron certainly knew how to make a kid feel special. God bless Ron and Ruth.

So sorry to hear of the loss of my cousin Ron. Even though we didn't keep in touch much as we got older I remember the many times that he would stop at our house in Rutland (Dad insisted he do so) when he was coming through with his National Guard unit. Ron would just call and Dad would put a pot of coffee on and Ron would come and visit for however long he could. I was a very young girl at that time and thought that it was great that Ron/Dad would wake up the whole house for his visit that was usually between the hours of 1:00-4:00AM!!!!! Seeing all the pictures brought back a lot of memories of Aunt Millie, Uncle Mirl, John, Ron, Eddie and Peter. I remember the summers Sheila, Howard and I occasionally got to spend at the Pelkey's that was so much fun. May Ron finds peace and happiness! Love to you all!

We had wonderful time at many of our high school reunions. My deepest sympathy to the family. He was a special family member of the class of 1963. The best and most thoughtful class Marian ever graduated.

We'll miss you Dubba, lots of fun times in MA and FL! My favorite was building the picnic table with you and my brothers! You will be missed here on earth, but you are finally with your true love in heaven where you've longed to be. Rest in peace and my God keep you in his everlasting grace. Xo
