Six years have gone by and yet I think of Ron often. A man of true character, consistent, and always with something funny we would laugh about. Guys like him don't come along every day,

Ron was my close and one of a kind personal friend. He excelled in his humor, work ethic, and love for Jesus Christ. He will long be remembered by many people.

We are all better people for having this dear Uncle in our lives. He had an amazing journey and we celebrate his life and the dedicated Christian role model he was, for all of our family! We all thought we were his favorite! He will always live forever in our heart!

Ron's heart, despite some physical flaws, was nevertheless an immense vessel of love. Even as he was failing, he (and Betty) poured forth loving care and concern for my mother, Dolores, regarding her health issues. I feel honored for even my limited time with Ron.
