Teary eyed with a deep pain in my heart for the loss of such a wonderful man. He had a very kind spirit and loved life to the fullest. His family was the most important thing to him but knowing Ron as I did from years of working with him at Sears he treated everyone like family. He'll be missed but never forgotten. He's with God now and and there's no more MS, wheelchair, or pain. He's standing, and smiling and holding God's hand and waving to all of us to let us know he's in good hands. Heartfelt sympathy to his entire family.
