God bless this man and hold him

Gregg and Tiffany ~ I just heard about Papa Ron today... it saddens my heart so. Ron was such a great guy to work with! He always had a twinkle in his eye and the best smile! The world was a better place with him in it. Prayers for all of you.

I have good memories of working with Ron at Jamestown Elementary School in the 1980's. Thank you for sharing this happy picture. I thank God for his long life! Sincere sympathy to you as you miss your dear Dad and Grandpa.

Dean Chris and family, Kathy and I are so sorry for your loss and our heart goes out to you Grace and the boys during this difficult time. Keeping you close in our thoughts and prayers.

My best memory of Mr. Poppema was being able to drink pop at his house. My favorite kind he would always make sure he had available for me was Tahitian Treat. Loved it!!! Still love it to this day!! My sympathy and prayers are with all of you, he will be missed.

Ron was one of the nicest hard working men I ever worked with. He always took time to talk & give me a hug when I needed it. We enjoyed many breakfasts & lunches together. He could always put a smile on my face. So sad I can't be at the services. Prayers for the family! May God give you peace & comfort.
