I was sad to hear of Ron's passing. I was just thinking about him as I went for a walk in his old neighborhood on Arona, before I heard the news.

I used to ride to work with him at one time, and worked with him at the COE. I still have the video of him "roasting" me at my retirement in 1995! He was truly a gentleman.

God be with you in these trying times.

Special thoughts and prayers to the Ronald Wolney family. You were such great neighbors and friends on Arona Street. We have so many memories of the children playing, going to school, neighborhood parties, Christmas parties at the Schwieger's, summer picnics, coffee parties, etc., etc. Thank you God for our memories. Ron will be missed by so many people. He was a great man, husband, father, neighbor, friend to all of us. We love you and know that we are here for you, anytime. god Bless You.

Jack and Family:
Even though I never met your brother Ron, I know that you have many memories of him that you will cherish and hold dear in your heart. He is painfree now and resting in God's arms. God chose Ron to be with him in heaven and for your family to hold tight to the memories that Ron left you folks.
