Hi daddy... I miss you so much. Yesterday I was talking to a friend about what a Great Man you were, I was so proud to call you my dad. I had tears in my eyes. Are you watching over us? Are you taking care of mom? I know you are. I just want to make you proud. I love you daddy. <3

What a wonderful brother and friend Ron was. We always enjoyed our times with you, and particularly treasure the memories of the tour of the British Isles that we did together so many years ago now. We wish we could be there for the memorial, but it is not to be. We will definitely be with you all in spirit. We treasure the paintings of his that adorn our home, and the statues that he made as he was working on his Masters. The stone cat still adorns our front entry but the 6 foot plaster and wire knight we had to leave in California when we moved to NY. In addition to being in our hearts, we have reminders of him and his wonderful talent all around us. He will be dearly missed. We are grateful that we had him in our lives for such a long time. Blessings and prayers for Rebecca, Blasa, Beatrice and all the rest of the family. Love, Joe & Carolyn

I have very fond memories of Uncle Ron. He was a wonderful, loving man. I always loved listening to his stories and talking to him. He was so interesting to talk with and knowledgeable about so many things. He lives on in my memories and in my heart. My prayers are with you, Blasa, Beatrice and the rest of the family. We love you.

Barrans family, my boyfriend Scott and I would like to send our deepest condolences to you all. Although we never met Mr. Ronald Barrans personally, we are friends with his daughter and son in law Blasa and Mario. He seemed like a wonderful person, husband, father, and friend. We mourn his passing but also are grateful to him and his wife for raising such a beautiful and caring daughter who we are happy and proud to call our friend. May he rest in peace. Blessings and hugs from NYC.
