Ron was one of my favorite customers at Shop-N-Save. He was always good for a laugh and could help turn a bad day around just seeing him walk in the door. Prayers to the family at this time.

Jana -
I was sorry to read about the passing of your father. I remember you as a great student in an orange and white uniform with wonderful supportive parents. That was just a year or two ago, right?!
