God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be so he put his arms around you and whispered come to me.

Sherry and family, I had the pleasure of working with Ron, or Gogo as he was affectionately known, for many years at The Globe Times in Bethlehem. We shared many a good laugh, working together on a daily basis. Although I have not seen Ron in many years, I still think of the old gang often. Please accept my sincere condolences. Kristopher Kipp

To Sherry and the rest of Ron's family, my wife and I are very sorry for your loss. Know that he is at peace and free from pain. Ron aka Grandpa and I were co-workers at B.Braun and will always remember how he could make you smile and laugh when things at work were not going well.
