Ronald's brother, Patrick, was 2 years older. Patrick started Cathedral in my class in 1961;in his Junior year, Patrick passed away due to pneumonia. Patrick Farina is interred at Calvary Cemetery, Los Angeles. Ronald was was a soft-spoken, kind student like his brother.

Our thoughts and prayers have been with Ron's family. Ron was truly a perfect Red Cross person. Kind, respectful and always had wonderful things to say about everyone.

We'll miss you Ron, but know that your spirt will live on!

My sister Silvia and I attended Our Lady Queen of Angels Grammar School from 4th grade with Ron and graduated in 1963. Unfortunately, my sister passed away in 1992 of breast cancer, but I remember Ron as a nice and friendly guy.
My deepest condolences to the entire family, and I’ll keep him in my prayers.
