We will always remember what wonderful neighbors Ron and Pat were while we lived on Forest Park Road. Very kind, wonderful people. Every summer we looked forward to the fruits of Ron's tomato plants that he so generously shared. May you be blessed with long, loving memories of Ron and Pat.

Uncle Ron was a man of principle, kindness, and generosity. He always made me and my family feel so welcome during our visits to Norton Shores. Indeed, a great role model and the embodiment of family values. Prayers and big hugs for the Byersmith family.
