Ron was such an interesting man, full of conversational surprises. He quietly and with grace took part in many Roberts gatherings. I am so pleased he and my aunt Nancy enjoyed so many happy years together. He will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He and I were dance partners long ago at Sno-King, including some time with the performance group. I'm attaching a photo from a 1989 performance at the Kingdome showing us having a good time with the Sno-King dance group. Thanks for all the great dances, Ron....especially the Norsk Mazurka! :-)

Whether it was Photography, Hiking, Boating, Dancing, hanging out with friends..or just and unwinding after a hard days work, Dad always made the best of it and lived right in the moment he was in. And even though he checked out a little early I know Dad had a good happy life with very little, if any regrets.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I met Ron may be 2-3 times. Once in the summertime in Tonasket, when he was a high school teacher. Jeanette was may be 3, Tim 4 and Joey under 2 yrs. old. He loved to sit the kids on his knee and talk to them. I am again sorry to hear of your loss!
