I never really got to see my grandfather and when I did I loved every moment of it. My favorite memory is when me my brother and Cynthia went to pick him up from work and we were all telling jokes and laughing al the way till we got to their house, even though he is gin I think of him every single second but when I visit his grave I start to cry and yesterday I got mad cause it was his birthday and he wasn't her with us. I love him and will carry that memory with me always.

Ronald Anthony Pumphrey was a magnanimous man. Thomas Aquinas said, “A magnanimous man walks with a measured step; he speaks with a secure yet calm utterance; and he employs humor artfully. A great man also knows when to be silent because it is a mark of his wisdom.”
Personally, I am convinced that when a soul enters heaven, the afterglow of his life is showered down on those remaining. This afterglow is comprised of Anthony's manifold good deeds that illuminated the lives of his friends, family, and even strangers. He gave solace to disquiet masses. Whether calming a small child or an aged adult, his words were graced with a certain healing quality. Ronald Anthony Pumphrey knew, intuitively, how to remove the dross and replace it with virtue. He accomplished this with great ease and naturalness. Perhaps it was a gift given to him at birth.
A beautiful legacy gives testimony to his life! A devoted wife, the progeny of three children, and eight adoring grandchildren manifest the fullness of joy. Now Anthony beholds the beatific vision.
In the Love of Jesus Christ, your sister-in-law,

I am deeply sadden by Ron's passing but I am happy for he is no longer in pain. I thank GOD that I was blessed to have had the past few years with Ron as a friend. Not only was he a friend but like a second father to me. Ron was a nice, kind, funny man that had a good spirit. To the Pumphrey family I know it is hard right now but keep GOD first for he will ease your pain, and one day you will see Ron again.
