Ron and Elaine were my home teachers for a number of years. During that time I was experiencing deep personal trials. While meeting in their home Ron was always concerned about my situation. On several occasions he gave me blessings of comfort, support and direction. He never missed a chance to greet me whenever he saw me. He was such an interesting storyteller about his life. His love and loyalty for his country and family were unmatched. Elaine has always been by his side with her love, compassion and service. Together their legacy has impacted many lives especially their family.

Elaine,

I worked at the State of Utah with your husband until his retirement there. I remember spirited discussions (we didn't always agree on a lot of things)! I also remember his deep and abiding affection for you. What a blessing it was for me to have know him. Please accept my sincere condolences. I am confident that he is working hard, as he always did, to provide for you in another sphere.

My very best wishes,

Mike Broschinsky
