I just heard about Ron's passing. I am sorry for your loss. It has been quite a while since we've had contact but he was a good friend and had a positive influence for me.

Spent a little time over there in my younger years. Some things I knew about Ron, he was a gentle soul, he was kind, always watching out for us. Tried to talk us out of a few things. A good son , a good big brother. Ron was good people, I am sure he touched many lives. My condolences to the Durham family.

Ron, Ron, Ron our life has been an accumulation of firsts. I was one up when born first. You one up to jump out of a tree. You got me as the first to jump off the roof of the house. I went up a few by doing the first reverse 2 1/2, forward 2 1/2 we had a good laugh about that one. Went another one up by by being the first to serve our country and starting a Family. Then you came and went up a few by doing an amazing exciting journey on your mission then serving your country in such an awesome way. I caught back up by loosing both parents first. Well my friend I'm going to let you win this one by leaving this earth and being the first to reunite with family and see your heavenly father first. Ok, Ok you win.
