Worked at the post office for many years. He was a great guy. He will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss.

Having been his golf partner for the last several years I found Ron to be thoughtful and caring towards his fellow man. I feel very fortunate to have known Ron. Ron was my friend and I will miss him. May he rest in peace. Tim Toussant
