This was my earthly Daddy that truly mirrored how much my Savior loves me. I am spoiled to be loved so much by two Fathers and sweetly blessed to know that I will spend eternity with both. Sad now but my future is filled with hope and promise:-)

I am so grateful that the Lord gave me the opportunity and the privilege to meet Ron . I did not know him for long or very well, but I admired him very much. I loved to see him smile at his wife and hear him talk of wanting to be near her. I loved the pride and gentleness in his voice and on his face whenever he spoke of his daughter, and all of his family. Most of all, I admired him for the great love, faith and knowledge that he had in his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you Ron for being a blessing to so many.

Ron, My Brother in the Lord, was a rare man.. Always straight forward and to the point.. Very eloquent in his writings.. And very knowledgeable.. He will truly be missed by many.. Even though I never met him personally, I know we could have hung out together. Besides loving the LORD, we had most sports in common, Bowling & Baseball for sure..
Much love & condolences to Suzi & family... I will keep them in my prayers..

There went one of my very favorite people I met on line and in person too, on up to heaven in the very presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus. "Absent from the body, present with the Lord." I will miss him very much. He is well loved in our Christian Discussions group and will be sorely missed. What a wonderful witness he was for others who are going through major illnesses. See you up there, my beloved brother in the Lord.

Ron was a great online friend for years. He was intelligent, witty, and most of all a supportive friend. I enjoyed his stories from his life that he would share from time to time. He always spoke highly of his wife, and I admire that in a man. He was a great witness for the Lord Jesus Christ. I regret we could not meet in this world but I know we will in the next. God bless all his family. Blessed be the LORD.
