Ronald Paul Bourgard

Ron, you were the first to welcome us to the beach. And from then on, we have so many happy and fun memories we shared. We miss you. Rest in Peace.
Love, Judy and Richy Fow, (Ft. Lauderdale,FL)

I'm glad to have known you. Peace and love, Ron.

We have so many fond memories of you. We will miss you every single day. The beach is not the same without you! Rest in peace, Ron! Love you ❤

It's an understatement to say that Ron was one of the best friends I've ever had... Ron, along with Kristen (Flower): family. Ron always looked out for me, wiped away my tears and shared some of my heartiest laughs with me. SO many treasured memories that I'll hold in my heart... Along with his memory. I miss him everyday and hear him say: "Love you baby - talk to me!"

Mike and I have so many found memories with you and will miss you so much. Until we meet again my friend.

Love and peace to Ron, his family and friends. So many fun FL memories of a kind hearted soul, that lived life to the fullest! I know you will show them how it's done up there. Rest easy my friend. Remember you always.

We will miss our friend. xoxo

Will miss forever my friend

Will miss my friend. I remember his smile and wit.

Ron will most certainly be shining that big beautiful light down on us forevermore.

May the light in our souls which shined so brightly on earth together, shine once more when the Lord deems it so.

I met Ron in Costa Rica. He was such a nice, friendly guy. I remember walking out of the hyperbaric chamber looking ever so lovely in my prairie outfit with no makeup on and him telling me how pretty I was. I only knew him for a few days but he was always smiling and happy!

Knowing Ron for the many years that I did, was a great pleasure. We were Papa and Baby Smurf, as he was also with other of us lady friends in South Florida. He cared for his friends, was a friendly fixture in our community. He is dearly missed and irreplaceable. Thank you for your friendship!

Hardly seems real that Ron has passed. Larry and I were so grateful to be able to say goodbye via FaceTime the evening before. We are reminded of the poem in the booklet that Hospice gave you Gone From My Sight. As the ship sails from one shore to the distant shore, there are loved ones waving goodbye and others eagerly awaiting his arrival. God bless Ron's soul and give comfort to all those who loved him. Love, Larry and Kathy

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
