Dianne -- I'm so sorry for your loss. And sorry the weather prevented me from coming today to offer my support and condolences in person. After Ron's lengthy illness, I hope you and your family can find comfort in wonderful memories and in knowing that he is in a better place now. I am sending you hugs and healing. Jean

Ron was one of the best managers I ever worked for at Schnucks. He treated his employees like human beings while so many others treated theirs like cattle. He had a great sense of humor that I will always remember.

I worked with Ron at Telegraph Schnucks years back and he taught me many things . One time I saw him calm a customer down and handle her complaint about something small to us but big to her. He let her know we could fix her problem and he always was great at satisfying the customer. Will be missed.
