I have known Ron and Nancy since the sixties. Ron was a really great guy and he was always there with a big hug. Wish I could hug Nancy right now but many miles prevents that. I have some wonderful memories of Ron. He will make heaven a great place.

To our dear friend and neighbor Nancy, we got so attached to Ron this past summer in our driveway get-togethers. He was a gentle man and always had that cute little smile. He will be missed by many, but always in our hearts. Praying for God's comfort for you and your family.
