Dear Ronald,

I was upset to hear of your leaving us. I'll always remember your
kindness to us "kids" at the Tomko house on Baxter St. on the holidays.

I'll always remember you in the weddings we had in the 1950's always neatly dressed up in those "tuxedos" of the day. It is an era gone by and we won't forget your sacrifice in the armed forces either.
Many years separated us apart by age back then, but you greatly touched our lives. Peace to you and
family members.

A Valentine

Ronalds Family,
I had Mr. Latavish for my English teacher many years ago. He was always one of my favorite teachers. I'm sorry for your loss.

We were saddened to hear about Ronald's passing. He idolized my Dad, his uncle Al Novak, and we had great visits with him when Dad was alive. The Novak family will miss him.
