Dear Evelyn, Skip and Carol,

Sorry to hear about Ron but was not aware of how ill he was. While I offer words of consolation, such as I know St. Joseph was there when Ron passed and helped him move to the land of light and peace, I cannot help but think of the good and fun times we had when we were preparing food for the SHC picnics. He was such a "fun-buster" and would keep us all in stitches. That is how I will remember Ron. And Skip you would come up every Sunday and pick up where Ron left off. With prayers and sympathy, Pat Slawecki

To Evelyn and the family, I didn't know Ron long, but he was a pleasure ( and a challenge) to work with. It was fun butting heads with him at times, but I could tell he was really a great guy and I know how much he loved his family. Much love to you.
