Magdi and I will always remember Ron at our house working so hard to get the house back in shape after the two floods. The first time he couldn't believe the mess we had, walked from room to room saying what a mess. His laugh, his jokes and never in a bad mood. We loved that guy.

We have a constant beautiful reminder of Ron's carpentry skills in our living room, an amazing custom mantle piece designed and built by Ron. He was an incredible friend and we will miss his light hearted nature. Steve and Cherrie Brickhouse
