Ron,

What a wonderful Father you have been to me. I couldn't of asked for anything more than the Father and the friend that I had in you. (And still have!) You continue to give me encouragement even while you are in Heaven. Enjoy yourself, I'll be there soon to give you a great big hug! I miss you so very much and think of you always. I love you with all of my heart.

Bridgette

I did not know Ron well; I have known Jan for sometime. Ron and I were diagnosed with cancer around the same time. Ron called me and spoke with such fervor and his positive attitude was contageous. I know he fought bravely to beat the cancer - God won. Jan, I am so sorry for your loss. Love, Karen Carolan

Ron Caputo....my friend....he loved life, he lived life. I have beautiful memories and sharing memories of the people we love keeps their spirit alive.



One time, we went to dinner and the question came up...."why can't we eat desert first?" We ordered four BIG deserts and had no room left for dinner. This was Ron...always have desert first.



I'll miss my friend Ron everyday and I know I always will, but he left me values, love and a stronger faith that can not be erased. I have beautiful memories and I'm here today living and giving thanks daily to God for my hero...my friend... Ronnie.

Ron will be dearly missed by everyone that knew him - for those that did not know him, you missed out on one of the best human beings that ever walked this earth. Ron had the gift of love, humor, and strength that he shared with everyone. All of our love and prayers go out to Jan and the rest of Ron's family.

I was most saddened to hear of Ron's passing. I shall never forget his many kindnesses and assistance he rendered me during my wife's passing 13 years ago. Please accept my sincerest condolences and prayers to Jan and their family. Frank Sopato
