Not sure what to say?

I missed out on time knowing my uncle when my mother and Uncle Ronnie brother Richard divorced. Sad

Ron was a super nice guy who was always fair with everyone. He will be greatly missed by so many! The world has lost a very special person.
To Gail and family: May all the wonderful memories remain in your hearts forever.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Ron was one of those guys without a bad bone in his body. If you knew him, you liked him. One of the truly good people. He was a classmate of mine in 1963 and we have been friends ever since. A great family man and golfing buddy. To say that he will be missed is an understatement. Rest in Peace old friend.

Gail and girls,
We remember Ron as a most congenial and pleasant individual. Our friendship existed for over half century but the best part was there were no boundaries of time or distance. Rest well, dear friend!
Love. Stella, Jim and our girls

Over the years Ron and Gail and my family had interaction in Memphis and Princeton, NJ and it was fun. Gail, you were married to a fine man and he was married to an outstanding woman. God bless Gail and the girls.

Ron was the INC in Atlanta, GA at he time. He made this trip a few times. He was a real gentleman and a very avid golfer. I remember hitting my golf ball near the waters edge playing the Garden course. Ron and I were looking for the my ball when we saw the largest and biggest snake we had ever seen. We both jump and...
