Ron's family-my thoughts are with you in he loss of Ron. I always remember his smile and his sense of humor. He was talkative when he brought his furry
friend into the Wausau Animal Hospital where I worked for 17 yrs. (a.m. receiptionist). It was always nice to see him and Snookie.
May your memories give you comfort.
