Not sure what to say?

When I received this reminder of Ron´s passing, it made me pause to think it has already been so long since Ron and I would share conversations, a lunch or his sitting in my office with me. Anytime spent with Ron was a joy and made it a day to cherish. It might sound strange to think of a coworker in this way, but Ron was more like a brother who shared his Witt and knowledge, along with his wonderful sense oh humor. I wish he and I would have had more time, as friends.

It is still very hard to look at Rons photo and remember the man I knew so well. I can never express my deepest appreciation for his mentorship, his friendship and his alway witty and wonderful personality. I truly loved Ron and will continue to remember and hold close to my heart the friendship we enjoyed. People say this, but Ron can never be replaced. I miss knowing he is out there. I will say hello again one day

I LOVED Ron Wilkey.

We meet many people on our voyage through life. Only a special few touch our hearts and mind in a way that will live with you forever. Ron was one of these friends for me. For more than 13 years, we met or spoke together daily. We became great friends. Not once in all these years do I remember Ron being anything but the kindest, most sincere person I knew. Ron truly cared about all of us. He spent everyday of his life helping to support others. I know he loved his...

Stacey, we are very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
