We were out of town and just heard. So sorry. He had the greatest smile! When we lived beside Rinky and Bill, he didn't miss a moment to say hello. It was wonderful to see him find such happiness in Mellie. May God fill you with peace.

I worked with Ron for several years at Dupont. He was just the nicest, most agreeable guy you could imagine. He knew a lot and was willing to share and teach what he knew. He was always a great pleasure to be around, with a positive attitude. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
No words necessary...RIP Mellie & Ron

As hard as it is to bear, I have to be thankful that Mellie didn't have to wait too long to be reunited with the love of her life.

May God, family, and friends help everyone close to Ron through this unbelievable tragedy. I worked for Mellie at school in human resources prior to my retirement. I remember the day she went to OC and bought Moose; the day she met Ron; their wedding; the trip to Florida in Keith's plane when they had to run along beside it to get it going. I was with her the day she discovered the lump in her breast. I remember her surgery, chemo and radiation. Most of all, though, I remember the love that she and Ron shared. They were best friends, what a beautiful thing and surely as good as it gets. Often, I walked by their house with my "boys." If Ron was outside, we'd talk. He sure kept the home fires burning. Ron loved his home, he loved his boys, and he loved Mellie. Also, I remember the special bond he had with his mother. Mrs. Kinnamon, I can't begin to imagine your pain. May God bless you.
