I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of Ron. Not only was he a great co-worker while I worked at Larson, but he was even a better friend. The advice he gave me years ago I still use to this day. God Bless all of Ron's family during this very difficult time.

My Dearest Ron,
I still see your smile. I walk through the house talking to you and I know you can hear me. When I ask you a question, I feel like I get the answers.
I lost the Love of my life. You will be with us always.
On the beach with your toes in the sand
Sunday Breakfast with your wife and son at the Truck Stop
You raised Cage as your own. You always called him your son, never step son. He was the apple of your eye. When he was young you would dress him up like you and take him on your sales calls. So, he too became part of that circle of family. You showed him your world, and he would follow you anywhere. Cage chose the Navy as his career, he wanted to be so much like you. You were so proud of him, as only a father could be.
Being the caregiver for all, you wouldnt have it any other way.
I think it saddened you not to have your sister close by, so you could watch over her. You still spoke every week. You would get mad because she would not take your advice. Because of course you were always right.
You expressed your love not by so much by words but by giving gifts. And your loved ones understood that was your way.
Cage and I loved hearing you talk about the Navy and the places you would travel
Even being a Vulcan during the Winter Carnival
I will always have the memories of you doing the things you loved:
Meeting the boys on the green at all your favorite courses
Bringing doughnuts to the offices
Every Tuesday having breakfast with a dear friend
Hanging with all the guys from work, where he didnt mind being the sober cab.
Talking on the phone with lifelong friends. Even during dinner. Always there to give advice. Even when not asked.
I want to send a special thank you to your best friend Randy. For walking me down the aisle and giving me the most beautiful gift of all, becoming Rons wife.
You will always walk beside me
All my love,
Your wife

My deepest sympathy goes out to you and Cage. Ron and I retired from Larson Co. On the same day. He and I were the only two Vietnam Vets that worked there. He was a very good man.
