As we think of Ron, we will always recall his strength, his calmness, his devotion, his counsel, his sterling character and his time that he shared with all of us.

Ron was a very good friend. We talked for hours about the Dallas Cowboys, other sports, and world news. He was very compassionate, caring, thoughtful, and sincere. He always brought calm and joy in this stressful world that we live in. He was very proud of his family. Although I know that he is in a better place I will miss him. May the Lord rest Ron's soul in eternal peace. Amen.

Ron was the best dad anyone could ever ask for. He did everything he could for his kids and did a great job raising us by himself. He adored his grandchildren and even played baseball with them 3 weeks before he passed away. We miss him so much but know his pain has been taken away. We love you Dad!
