My regret is that I did not know Ron longer. I meet him only when I (and my wife Carol) came to KC in 2010. Ienjoyed him companionship and fellowship in several bible groups, at church, helping at Harvesters, over lunch and dinners. He had much to offer me in our discussions about God and life. His very loving relationship with Barb is a high standard for marriage that we all can learn from and should follow. Will miss him.

Even though Ron was one of nine siblings, he stood out in ANY crowd from the beginning to the end. His drive, personality, enthusiasm for life propelled him and let him enjoy success in many areas of life.
His most cherished accomplishments were his family and his many friends. My husband and I were blessed to be a little part of his very large life.

What a delightful man, this Ron. We enjoyed his presence in church, and in CURSILLO. We especially appreciated his service on the Happening board. To all the family we express our sincere condolences but also praise God for giving him to us for a time. His smile surely brightens the heavens.
