Ron - We lost many years together but made up for them in the past years when we got to meet your lovely wife (Hope) - we knew her as Sue. You were blessed with her presence and I feel comfort knowing you found love and joy together. Our great memories are of sharing time with both of you last Oct. and also the trips you made to see us in Florida and Boston. You and all of your family will be remembered in our prayers. Sleep peacefully. Love, your sister, Darlene

Saw the obituary in the Naperville Sun but Joyce and Dick Kastel had told me of his graduation to glory. Ron once lived with us when we lived in Naperville before moving south to SC. We were friends of Margo (his first wife) and Ron when they lived in Naperville and attended Calvary Temple with them. Glad you don't have to suffer and we are praying for the family. Love and hugs, Don and Glenda Isham also know as Ma and Pa.

It's so amazing to think that you are in the presence of Jesus, like you had always dreamed about! No more pain Ronnie...no more struggles to breath...no more suffering. Thank you for being so good to Memaw,..she misses you terribly, you know, but she knows one day she will see you again in Heaven.
