Joan and kids,
Ronnie was certainly one of a kind. One of the brightest and nicest men I ever worked with. I was glad to have him as a friend and mentor. I know you will miss a great deal.

Joan & Cheryl,

Cheryl, many thanks for calling me Sunday evening. You indeed were the apple of daddy's eye starting with the WO Lab days. Joan, thank you for putting up with Ron & I abandoning you and my Joanna, so that the boys could play on our sports car rallies. I will always remember trimming the huge Christmas trees and the reverie of the gang during and after those parties.

Love to all,

Don

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

John 14:1-2 (KJV)

"The LORD bless you
and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace."
