Ron was a great cousin. He wrote me many letters and cards. He was with me a lot when I lost my mother at age 10. He was like a big brother. His wife,mom and I use to play 500 very frequently. He was a great artist. He loved my kind of music, Old Country. He was very kind to many. I will miss him very much. Love you all, prayers Cousin Linda
