Dear Hen. Jenny, Kevin and family,

Just found out the sad news thru Pixi and this world is going to miss one loving, happy man. Seems like there always was a Ron & Hen and you will have so many life long memories to cherish. I just watched the wonderful photo tribute. Looking at his smiling face on every picture (plus that thick hair) I saw a good, happy life well lived. Ron's deep love for you, Hen, just gushes out of him and you can see his family was his everything.

Sending my deepest condolences to each of you. You will always have one of the very best soul mates, dad, grandpa and loved one that you could be blessed with. Altho he's no longer physically can be here, his forever love & presence will remain close to you. Praying for your peace and comfort. Love, Becky
