Ron's Family...Betty. Too soon for the man he was, and will always be to those who loved him. I can say "I wish" but that never comes to pass. He will be missed.

Although I knew Ron for a short time, I met him though his neighbor Les. I'm Les's neighbor from across the street West side. What time I did know Ron I could not have met a better person. His blockbuster end of year street party BBQ was out of this world. Prayers go out to his wife and families we will miss his as you do.

How sad we were to hear this. Always smiling, always friendly. We always enjoyed bumping into Ron & Betty. I know he is rejoicing with the Lord and singing in the heavenly choir. Our thoughts and prayers to the family

My tears won't stop flowing. I am so sorry for your loss, Betty, and the whole family. Ron has been like a big brother to me for a very long time. Ron and Betty two of my truest friends, ever. Every time I saw Ron, first thing he would say to me, in kind of a rough, teasing voice, was..."Debbbbie".....I will always hear that and will always remember Ron. R.I.P. my brother ....w/Love, Debbie Skinner

So many memories come to mind about Ron and my Father together. I am sure my Father has many memories and stories he could tell. I will miss his laugh and also how you could always count on Ron to share a funny story with laughter most likely at my Fathers' expense. Ron will be missed!!
