Not sure what to say?

Ron was a friend that didnt care for people's opinions of him. He was fun to talk to and a very loyal friend. I worked with him at ERA for several years. He enjoyed a joke and had a quick wit. Ron was very political and we agreed on that also. My sympathy to all the family. He was truly one of a kind. Rest in peace dear friend.

I´m very sorry for the loss of Ron England, I met him when he would bring Ronda to Mrs Swingles Kindergarden class where I was an assistant. My parents Ruth and Herb King were friends of his and we all loved our friend Ron.

I would like to extend my thoughts and prayers for the England family!

A truly inspiring man in law enforcement.

Prayers for the family. I had the pleasure of meeting Ron and Mary when he was Sheriff . Ron and I were Charter members of the Jc-Washington County Chamber of Commerce Leadership 2000 class. We also played in a lot of Rook tournaments. He loved to play. A great friend.

My sincere condolences to the family of Ron England. He was a great mentor for challenging times with family and business issues. Fly High My Fried..,

My condolences to Ron England Jr. in the death of his father. Your father used to shop at Merita Bakery when I worked there. He was a very nice person and was a pleasure to know.

I worked with Sheriff England several Times late 70's and early 80's and early 90's... Each time I went back to work in the Sheriff Department, he would always ask the same question "how long are you going to stay these time?" I would always say the same thing "Till I fine Something Better." He was a good man to work during those times... I am so thankful for the time, kindness and wisdom we shared together. My deepest condolences to the Family. My prayers will be with You All.
