Lisa and Mike, you have both been in our prayers and on our hearts especially this last few weeks. You are all so special to our family and we are so very sorry for your loss. I only remember Ron as a young boy, but it broke my heart to hear of his illness and passing. I have never lost a sibling, and cannot imagine your pain. Love you both so much and have so many happy memories of days gone by. I know those will carry one day when time has passed and you have been able to get through this difficult time.
Mr. Connie, my dad always thought the world of you and so do I. You raised three amazing children. I do know the pain of losing a child, and although not exactly the same for anyone I am truly hurting for you. I know you are feeling unspeakable pain. I know that God's peace will hold you through these most difficult days. I am so sorry for your loss and I know Mrs. Oswalt will be a great comfort to you.
I speak for myself, my sisters and mom when I say you will be constantly in our thoughts and prayers in the days to come. Hold tight to Jesus. I know Charlotte is celebrating in the presence of God with her Ron now. One day we will see them again. In Him, Danette (Lunceford) Williams

Ron wasnt just my friend for 25 years, he was my family. One of the only people I know that would give of himself without hesitation and unconditionally. The one person in my life who would drop everything to help me if he thought i needed him. And he did that so many times. I could never begin to repay him. Rons main concerns were that the people he loved were happy. He was truly dedicated to the people he cared about and also animals. He cherished his dog mojo and thought of him as his child. He participated in local TNR program TSNIPS to help control the population and therefore improve the lives of the feral and stray cats in his community. He even befriended and cared for a rat that he rescued from a trap at a previous job. He was a special person, Ron and i couldn't have differed more in our religious and sociopolitical beliefs, but he was still my best friend and we spent hours talking every month. He knew what really mattered and there should be more like him. My deepest sympathy for his father Connie, his wife Leigh and all the family and friends I never met - I know how much you will miss him.
