I knew Ron for many years at Work Out World. He was very diligent about working out. We had many talks, and he would always say how much his family meant to him. I could tell how much he loved his wife, children and the grandchildren!! What a very nice person he was. He will be missed. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I am so sorry for your loss.
