To the Marshall's! So sorry of the passing of husband and father. He was such a great man, very friendly and just so nice to everyone. I can still see him the hallways at Central, asking me why I am here again? Picking up Laurie for some reason! Love that man! God Bless!

Ron was a wonderful person and I will miss him. I have not seen him in a couple of years and was shocked to learn that he had ALS. His mother-in-law lives in Cambridge and I ran into him a few times while we were both visiting there. He enjoyed the NASCAR races and enjoyed traveling to the events. Ron and I shared many stories including our battles with cancer. He was proud of his family and friends. Ron was a special person and will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him. God Bless my friend.

Sandy and family,
Ronny was a great guy. He was fun, charming and good for a laugh. There are a hundred Ronnie stories from high school, maybe now a thousand. He'll be missed. Love, Bud and Jan Hawthorn

Ron was a great friend growing up together and during our years at Eastmoor. Ron was also a groomsman at my wedding almost 45 years ago with former classmates Gary Edison, Gary Gentry, and Roy Leonard (Best Man). When I was told of his passing today I was saddened that I hadn't seen him in such a long time. Fortunately memories of "the good ole days" are still fresh in my mind. I'm out of the country and will not be able to attend the service but rest assured I will be thinking of Ron and his family for a long time. My wife, Betsy, died almost two years ago after 43 years and I know what his family is going through. Right now it is hard to shift the sadness in your hearts and focus on the pleasures and wonderful memories of spending decades with a great person. It will happen in the future though. My thoughts are with you. Thanks Ron for what you meant to your friends, past and present.
