Ronald-
I miss you a lot, especially a lot for someone I didn't see often; nearly hardly at all.
We had fun times as young cousins, and I always marveled how much you and I shared a lot of facial characteristics while possessing our won distinctive features. You always said it was the blue eyes that set us apart. :D
But another feature that we didn't share was that patented "Wicked Cheshire Cat" smile of yours. I wonder how you'd feel knowing that I have just mastered it- well...a proximity of it- myself. Imagine all those years of me priding myself on being at least a competent mimic, and I had missed the slight jut of the lower jaw. And wouldn't you know the shape of our teethset are similar. So, here I am, 56, with a new toy, courtesy of my cousin Ronnie. ;)
It's coming up on the holidays, that set of once a year occasions we'd see each other, depending upon the year. I'm so glad you and Bobbie found each other. Knowing you as I did I'd have to guess she had to be the anchor that kept you from getting lost at sea, hopelessly adrift, as my Kathy is for me.
Wish I had told you how I felt about you, cuz. You occupy a place in my heart to this day.
- Dale

Bobby and kids - I am so sorry for your loss. My memory of your dad in high school was a kind and gentle guy. When I saw him last at a reunion it was the same Ron - a kind and gentle man. Thinking and praying for your family at this time

Bobbie, I am so sorry for your loss. Ron always spoke lovingly about you and Lawson, and taught me a lot about the important work he did for SMIP. May he rest in peace.
