Oh I am so sorry for your loss. I just read of Ron's passing on the Cottage Grove Facebook page. I worked for Ron and Mickey at their dairy store. Ron was such a kind man. Prayers to all. Barb Kuntz Mike

So sorry to hear about Ron. I remember both of you from Milroy and when my sister Grace married Rich Kerkvliet and visiting with you in St Paul and I think we played some cards. Will remember you Mavis and your family in our prayers.

I remember the many fun times with Ron, Harley and I at the farm near Milroy. I'll always cherish those experiences.
I'm really sorry I can't make it out to funeral, but I'm still recovering from a carotid operation, and I don't travel well these day.
Love to all, Duane Kukuk

Ron and Mickey were a wonderful part of so many childhoods. My brother, sister ans I along with all the neighborhood kids, have many wonderful memories of the candy store. Ron and Mickey were always so kind and generous. They were always smiling and they waited so patiently while child after child tried to decide what treat they wanted. Ron and Mickey will always be legends in Cottage Grove. Thoughts and Prayers are with you, Lori Wilharber Hausker
