To the LaRoche Family - We were very sorry to hear of Ron's passing and we are sending our love and prayers to all of you. Memories! Memories" I met Ron between 1945 to 1952 when he came with his family to visit the DeVito family on Greenwood Avenue in Darien. We were children - years passed! We both were in the carpet business. Ron at his store at the corner of West Main St. and West Ave. As time passed we both met Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Ron, you will be missed here on earth, but one day we will be together in Heaven, for eternity, with no end. Give Jesus a big hug from my wife, Gerry and myself. Praise the Lord! With our love Nick and Gerry Agneto
