My thoughts go out to Ron's wife and family. He had a big heart and was always so kind to me and our family. We lived nearby around 1962-72 and would collect pop bottles to cash in for candy. I'm sure I didn't always have enough money to cover purchases and he never made me feel different. He was fun and served as a great example I hope I can carry on. I brought in Wonder Bread during their big promotion and he gave me more bread without questions. Ron had a big heart and I will always have fond memories.

I have so many childhood memories of Ron. He was always so patient with us kids running in and out of Ron´s Food Center buying our candy , pop, gum & whatever else we could find. Loved going in there to see him & Lowell , always so nice. May your family find comfort in knowing that others, like myself will always remember Ron with a smile. RIP~

Ron was a wonderful man, and he was so good to our family. When I'd see him around town, he would give me a huge hug, say something that I won't repeat here, but it was something that made me laugh.
He loved all of my family like his own and I am blessed to have know such a wonderful man.
My condolences to the family.

I have known Ronald for 24 yrs . He always greeting me and my kids at church, and always asked how they were doing . I also enjoyed our little chats after mass.He would tease me with his walker saying he was going to run me over with a smile . I laughed with him, knowing it was all in fun . I am going to miss his sweet smile and warm handshakes . May you test easy . Love you always

Ron was an awesome man. He was a very generous person with a big welcoming smile and an even bigger heart.
The man and his sons were a staple in my young life and he will be missed.
That is a great photo of him, by the way!
