Debbie, my heart breaks for you and your family at the passing of Ron. We had wonderful memories of our friendship with you and Ron, especially the fishing trip that Ron and Ken went on. Not sure what Ken was doing but he slipped and rolled down the hill towards the water. I think they had a good laugh when they realized that Ken wasn't hurt. I'll always remember Ron's big smile and his sense of humor. I will definitely be keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Sending love and hugs!
