Ron was my closest friend in high school. He was a great guy. We lost touch when he moved to Florida. Was just thinking about him and Googled his name to see if I could locate him and was shocked to see the obituary. I am truly sorry that he has passed.

Kelly I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I bought my horse Tucker from him 4 years ago and still have him. I remember he said you gave him the name Tucker... he is still a beautiful boy!
Again my sympathies to you and your family.

Our deepest sympathies to Paul and family of Ron's passing. I have fond memoreis of Ron when I would visit the family on Collins Rd. back in the day. He always had a smile and was quick with the wit. Ron also had a quick right hand that I found out one night fooling around with boxing gloves. He will be missed but the memories of him will live forever. Ed & Linda Skeele

I always admired Ron for his tender heart and joyful spirit. Although I didn't have contact with him after the divorce, I know he will be greatly missed. My condolences go out to Bob, Kelly and the rest of the family.
