We were neighbors with Ron & Katie on Jasmine Circle and love them so much. Later on, as a newly wed, my wife and I were in the Highland Ward together. We remember one night in particular when they invited us to their home for dinner and a Diamondbacks game, and we had a great time. Ron loved the Diamondbacks! Also, I had great fun tutoring Katie in Spanish at MCC Red Mountain. They will be greatly missed but will be seen again! Lincoln Eagar

Dear Frost family:
I have fond memories of Ron and his brother, Dick, as missionaries in Switzerland. My father, Jess Curtis, was their mission president. He was a wonderful missionary. Deepest sympathy to you.
