I have known Ron for more than twenty years and can say that he was always the first to extend a helping hand to those in need. His example for compassion and his dedication to serve are traits we can all strive to follow.

Ron/family,
I always appreciated your tireless devotion to your church, your community and your lodge. You were a normal fixture around the Deer Park lodge working on the various projects that went on. I know you were very active in the community ministry as well. I wish your family peace during this trying time and you eternal rest from your labors.
Jesus is THE way, THE truth and THE "light." May your faith in him illuminate your path to a life eternal.

Ron, I signed your petition to be a mason and you set a standard that all should follow. My friend, community activist, scuba buddy, and "brother". We had great fun when people would confuse who was who, especially when we met them at different times. You were blessed with a great and exciting life, an outstanding wife and daughter, and both of you grandchildren. Mellie and I will miss you as we do our own family members.

Brother Ron will be missed. His sense of humor, his dedication to our fraternity, and you could always have his ear for good council. Good job, Ron, your building is complete.

Brother Ron will be missed by all. He NEVER turned down an assignment that was asked of him for the Deer Park Lodge, that I know of. He was truly a "good man, that was made better", through our fraternity !
