Ann, Dot and I just came back from Florida and saw Bill and Shirley Stahlheber at a restaurant who told us about Ron's passing. The last time I talked to him I presented a copy of my book. He seemed to be in good health.At our age (I am 90) I guess it is not a surprise. We fondly remwember our conversations with both of you and some pleasant memories of Ron and me playing golf. You have a wonderful family to help you in your grief.

Ann and family.....I miss Ron immediately. I have only known Ron for the past few years, but immediately was drawn to him. We shared a lot of similar traits which was great fun for me. Ron always showed the greatest friendship and respect to me. I can assure you it was shared. We shared Christ for so many fellowship meetings with lively debate and common pursuit. He died at peace and in the spirit. I thank Ron for introducing his wonderful family to me. I will always remember.....I will forever miss him. He is loved by me forever. Jim Armstong

To Martha, Ann & Family, I'm saddened to hear of your loss. I met Ron When I was in high school and I thought he was a very nice guy. Later in our years when visiting my Dad at a prayer group at South York Diner I recall enjoying breakfast with him, my Dad and some other doctors. He made me feel right at home when he was genuinely interested in what I was doing in Las Vegas. I think Ron was about as real and caring as a person can get. I've lost both of my parents and know how it feels. I hope that your feeling of loss and grief will be replaced soon by the great memories and inspiration you got from him. God Bless you and your family.
