My sincere condolences to the family on your loss. I was a classmate of Ron's at Arlington High and had known him back in grade school too.
He was always such a nice person and will be missed.

I remember Ron well as a very pleasant classmate, who always had a good thought to mention about everyone. I would pass through Huntley on route #47 on my way to Hebron to visit my brother Roger Ragland and pass Ron' s Del Webb home. Art Ruffino also lives in Huntley as well.

Rest well Ron and thanks for being part of the Class of '57 and our top crew of mates.

Kindest: Alan (Ragland)

Dear Jonas family,
Ron was the most kind and helpful man. We first met Ron when we started in business and he always took a genuine interest in helping us grow. I will miss talking baseball, business and life with a true friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family.
