I have so many wonderful memories of adventures with Ron & you, June. Minnesota fishing, bar-b-queing oysters wearing a red bow tie (I guaranteeee), dinners after a successful hunt, the list goes on. May your own memories of times you shared bring you comfort and peace in the coming days. He was one in a million
