Love and prayers to the Williams family.....We just wanted you to know how much we are all going to miss Ron. We truly share your grief. Ron had a million dollar smile that could light up the room. He made you feel like you were the most special person in the room when he greeted you with that enthusiastic smile. I have many good memories and stories of him. He left us way too soon. We hope you can take some comfort in knowing that he lived a full life in the short time he was with us. Most people cannot pack as much fun and love into a whole lifetime as Ron did in his short one. He was a very special person. He was loved and respected by all who met him. That's the most any of us can hope for in our lifetime. He certainly left love and memories behind for us all to treasure.

Blessings to you.
