Mary Lou.....I am so sorry to hear of Ron´s passing. Was my tax consultant in the 80´s, 90´, & 2000 till I moved away. Not just a great tax man, but what a great guy. Would just sit there and shoot the breeze about everything. Don´t make them like him anymore. Take care & God Bless....

Hi Mary Lou I don't know where to begin or end with all the memories of all the years of friendship with you and Ron at AMIC. I love you both and will miss Ron so much. He was a wonderful friend and neighbor for many years. He was a wonderful husband to you. We will all miss him here on earth.
