Grandpa,

Words can't explain how much I love and am going to miss you. I've found myself calling your cell phone just to listen to your message to hear your voice again. I always enjoyed talking to you, listening to your stories and your jokes and the way you made me feel when I was near you. You were so welcoming and easy to be around, truly a loving person.

Grandpa, it seems too soon you left but I know you're in a better place now and that's what helps me get through the day.

I'm blessed and honored to have known you and am very proud to carry your name!

All my love...Your grandson,

Ron

Scott, Linda and Family,

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. The couple of times I had the opportunity to meet him, I can say he was a true character and fun guy to be around. I am sure he is in a better place looking down upon you and feeling the love that surrounded him during his time here.
Take care and God Bless....

Keep all the good memories in your hearts forever and let them help you through this tough time. And Ron, if you are looking to toss some cards around, go find my grandpa up there because he's kinda new too and may be able to show you the ropes! R.I.P. big guy!!!

Grandpa,
I can't even find the words to express how blessed I am to have had you in my life. I will never forget the first time you met me and you asked me if I was a "mushroom". You filled the room with great love, laughter and smiles. Alex is especially lucky to have spent such quality time with you, and Ron is truly blessed to have had such a truly amazing grandpa and more important friend. We love you more than words can find and you will always be with us. Love you much!!!

Dear Dad and Friend,

Thank you for being a Dad to me, a grandpa, and a great grandpa to my family. You stepped right up to the
plate especially when my own Dad passed away ten years ago. You were the best cook I knew and I was proud to have my own personal chef. I think you rather cooked then me because yours tasted way better than mine. Did I mind? Not in the least, I was happy to clean up! Thanks for being there holidays or when I was having company, you were always there for me and made that special effort to come to my rescue. Also, I can't thank you enough for helping us in the garden, patching up things in our home, helping Scotty in the yard, you were always there when we needed help. Oh yes, thanks for watching all the games with Scotty so I didn't have to.

Everytime we told Vinny, "Grandpa's here" he would be so excited to see you he would run to the door and then when you would sit down you would practically sit on him because he wanted to be close to you.

You are "OUR HERO". You will be greatly missed but your memories will live on forever!! I Love You My Friend

Hugs and Kisses Forever,
Linda

Scott, Linda, Randi & Jon,

My thought and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I wanted to let you know how special your Dad was to me and my family. Uncle Ronnie told the best stories of the "Good Old Days" and no matter how many times I heard them I would laugh and laugh. He was always there to lend a helping hand for my Mom or anyone in my family. He will be truly missed!
With love,

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.
~Author Unknown

Grandpa,
As I went through pictures this past week end, it was sad, but also brought back so many fond memories. I remember my mom bringing me and Amber over to your house in West St. Paul when we were little and we would walk into the house and Amber and I were smothered with love and kisses from you and Grandma. I remember you always grabbing our cheeks and then of course you both would ask us if we were hungry. Amber and I knew you would have "garlic stuff" in the refridgerator. I also remember these last few years, where you were involved in Grayson's life. Attending his baptism and coming over to our new house, throwing the ball for Lola. That is what will keep your memory alive in my heart, it will be all the love that you had not only for my family but the entire family. We are all blessed in more ways because of you have been apart of our lives.
All my love
Nikki

It is never easy to say good bye especially when it's someone like you, Ron.
I am very fortunate, I got to see you often these past several years.... Hear your jokes, listen to your great stories of the past and see that infectious smile on quite a regular basis. Sometimes just sitting and having a conversation with you was the highlight of my day!
To the entire family; I hope you all know how sorry I am that you lost such a wonderful man! He will be truly missed by a lot of people.
I think I will always miss hearing what you use to say to me, Ron, before heading to play cards at Mancini's... "Well Sweets, see you tomorrow. I'm off to work."

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Grandpa, I am so thankful for the time we have spent together. You were truly one of the funniest people I've ever known and I think I'll miss your jokes the most. I will always cherish the memory of you and me in my kitchen making that fantastic sauce; I hope you knew how much that meant to me. I will try my best to replicate the taste and pass it along, but I think we both know that just a little something will be off.

Love you,
Angie

I always felt welcomed and loved in your home when Doug was staying with you during college.You and Joan were like a second family to me and I will never forget your generous spirit. The stars are a little brighter now that you are among them! With love,

Ron you were a great uncle, from cracking jokes to feeding the entire U of M football team the best pizza in the Twin Cities. You lived life to the fullest and will be missed by us all.

June 6, 2010

Scott, Randi and Family,

My memories of Ron are and always will be of the times we, as a family, spent time at his home in West St. Paul, swimming in the pool and cook outs when the kids were little, when Ron played Santa Clause for the grand kids, and especially when he would share his many stories (oh so many stories) and we would laugh. He was such a kind person, and respected life. Ron will be missed by all.

My sincere condolences to you.
