Lt. Col. Hugh Arthur "Hondo" Ronalds

It is a pleasure and honor to say that Hugh was a classmate of mine at Pen Argyl High School. Everyone knew that his aims and ambitions were set high in this life. The obituary written expressed great honor and a fulfillment of those ambitions.
It was always good to see Hugh at our Class Reunions, and we had wonderful and memorable talks. I was happy to meet his son and get to know him as well.
Hugh came from good parents. His mother Joyce was the nurse at Pen Argyl High School and she treated all the students with her tender loving care.
He touched many lives throughout all his years .. and I believe we can all say .."To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die."

Maureen, Peter and Ronalds family,
So saddened to see your Dad has passed away. He was such a great man who accomplished so much in life. It was so many years ago but I remember the pride your grandparents had for their sons and you both. Sending you both my sincere sympathy and heartfelt prayers at this difficult time .
Sincerely,
Karin (Dally) Curcio
