What an awesome tribute to a great fellow at Ron's funeral that I will not soon forget. Nancy I have only known you and Ron for a few short years but many people envy the love you two shared. In your thoughts in the coming days think of the love you apparently shared to ease the pain of the grief you must surely feel. PLEASE call me if you ever need anything!

Dear Mureline, Bobby & Walt,
I'm so very sorry to learn that Ron has passed. Many, many years ago, I was at the old Dixie Jubilee theater in N. Myrtle Beach to see the Eddie Miles Show. Ron was on the front row (I knew it was him after meeting him at Sands Ocean Club - he was so handsome) and stood with such great respect during "How Great Thou Art." I'm sure he's truly feeling how Great Thou Art in Heaven as he's finally free of the pain he endured so much. I don't think I ever mentioned this to you but I never forgot him. Love, Betty Genovese

Dear Mureline, Bobby and Walt,
Many years ago I had the pleasure of "seeing" Ron while attending the Eddie Mile's concert at Dixie Jubilee. I didn't know who he was at the time but when he stood up on the front row of the auditorium during "How Great Thou Art" I thought what a handsome man. He was so passionate and I know you will miss him greatly. He is now out of pain as he suffered so much while on this earth. God Bless you and your family. Love, Betty & Bill Genovese

Nancy, I feel so fortunate to have played music with Ron and Harry in the Housecats, and to have a recording of us, that wouldn't have been possible without Ron and you. I will always have that to remember him by. My prayers are with you.

Dearest Nancy and Our Dear Sweet Kim:
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about Ron's passing.
Ron was a really great guy and a fabulous host! Ron gave us so many joyous moments and many great memories. Just thinking about some of those memories makes me smile through my tears. Ron will remain in our hearts forever.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal. Treasure the good and happy memories – they will carry you through this time of sorrow.
With deepest sympathy and all our love,
Beverly Able and Boo Carter
