Sending Ronald´s family a lot of love today

Ron was a very kind and caring person, who dearly loved his wife and family. He had an avid interest in fishing, and one weekend, he and Carolyn accompanied me to my family's cabin near the Ozarks. My brother, John happened to be there also and invited Ron to do a little "creek fish'in". They had Carolyn and I drop them off at a low water bridge and they waded the clear water all the way back to the cabin nearly 2 miles away, as they threw their fishing lines into the stream and deep holes of water. They both caught several small mouth bass.and my brother informed Ron, "Not every one is skilled enough to do creek fishing!"Patrici Ron just smiled and nodded.
