Mrs. McGill and family-

I wanted to express my heart-felt condolences. I was saddened to see Ronald's obit today.

Although, it is over 30 years, since I last saw Ronald, I remember him fondly. I knew him when he worked for Kelly Services. He was such a lovely person and a wonderful reliable employee. He also worked with my husband in the Convention business, before moving on to the hotel business.

My husband would see him from time to time, but it's been many years, but he would always tell me about his visit.

May you and your family's wonderful memories help to ease your grief.

Respectfully,

HANNAH BENSON - BIAS
