I lived on Jefferson Rd, four houses away from Ron since 1946. He was one of my best childhood friends. I will keep his family in my prayers.

I went to high school with Laura and my dad Vinnie worked with Ronnie. I learned of his passing in the St. Killian's bulletin. I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. I had fond memories of when Ronnie came to our house when I was little. May he RIP and may you all find comfort from each other during this difficult time.
