We all cross many paths in our lives and I had the good fortune to cross Ron's path at the Marsh Brook Center for Athletes. Despite his physical limitations, Ron diligently worked hard to maintain himself. The staff at the center is exceptional and accommodates persons of all abilities. Ron and I became good friends and we so enjoyed exchanging jokes and laughing our way through workouts. His picture captures his great sense of humor.
To Dottie and both families, my deepest sympathy and love. Ron was a special person who endured much yet managed it all with a smile. God Bless.

Sorry to hear of Mr. Healey's passing. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. And, that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.

My deepest sympathies to Dottie and the Healey family for their recent loss. Ron was a good personal friend and the loudest member of the Graniteers Drum & Bugle Corps from 1965 to 1969 as the bass drummer. He left to join the Army and in 1970 he was home on leave and changed his Army uniform for a Graniteer uniform and carried the American Flag in one of our parades.
A call for help never went unanswered whenever and wherever he was needed. He will surely be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. As neighbors growing up he was a great person. Although I haven't seen him for many years I can believe he was still just as great a guy. Ron "May you fly like an Eagle soar like a Dove as you watch over the ones that you love". Rest in peace Ron.
