Not sure what to say?

Greatest friend to me ever. We shared many two wheeled memories. Miss him greatly.

Dear Mrs. Yates and Family,
It was my privilege to have worked with Ron at Jamesville. I grew to love him. He was real, sincere, and cared for all mankind. He also had a great heart. He will be missed much by the officers whose lives he touch and influenced. Rest in peace "Poppa Yates". My heartfelt sympathy to all his family. Chris Heckman

Nancy and family,
So sorry to hear after we just got together and you were the only one of all of us neighborhood girls who still had both parents living. Praying for God to comfort you all at this difficult time.

Dear Mrs Yates, Nancy and Malinda,
I just received the news that Mr Yates had passed away. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time. Peace be with you,

Winnie. So sorry for loss, I will remember all the times that Ron drove up and down sunset drive in his blue car.

My heart breaks today because I have to say goodbye to you far too soon then I would have liked. I know that God has a plan, and although this part I am going through hurts more than i ever thought possible, I know that you are safe and have started a new adventure. I will love you always and forever. I will try my hardest to hold down the fort and "do the right thing" Till we meet again .
Love, your baby sister Sherrie

Sherrie, I am so sorry for your loss. thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
