Suzanne ~ I've been to the Old Mill on a number of occasions with my aunt, Sue Pysher (RIP), uncle Barry Pysher, my parents and even with some of our extended family. I always enjoyed your place and usually your husband came out to say hi to Sue and Barry. It was obvious that you and Ronnie were very beloved by your patrons and the community. My deepest condolences to you and your family on his unexpected passing.

Sending our sincerest condolences to Suzanne and family on the loss of Ron. Hoping your fondest memories of him will comfort you ar this most difficult time. Ron was a fair, hardworking man who took much pride in his work. His food was delicious, not only because he was a good cook, but because he added a lot of TLC. It was evident that Ron and Suzanne made a good pair in business and after being married for 43 years one could assume they were good together as spouses too. My husband and I patronized their businesses for many years and we knew we would miss them upon their retirement. We only wish Ron could have enjoyed his retirement for a long time for he surely earned it. Rest in Peace Ron.
