Uncle Ron was truly one-of-a-kind; he was always willing to lend a hand or offer some friendly advice, and had a knack for "knowing a guy" for anything you could ever need. Friends received Friday, September 26th from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at the GRIFFITH FUNERAL HOME, INC., 5636 Brownsville Road, (at 6th St.) South Park Twp.
