Ronny, one of my very favorite cousins and people, was a bright, happy fellow from the time he was born. Full of vigor and humor, Ron was so considerate to my folks. Always helping in their elder years . He was a good man who will be missed.

My family moved from Colorado in 1962, and I met the family in 1963 through his mother, Raye, who worked at Lakes High School. From that time, I felt that Ron was a bright star, full of fun and just a neat lad. We will all miss him and know that he is in a better place watching us.
