  4. I was sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. I got to know him through the Shriners’ breakfasts and always enjoyed talking with him. Despite his health problems, he was always upbeat and at least as concerned about others as himself. My sympathy and prayers to all of you, and may Ron rest in peace.

  5. Ron was a great guy and a wonderful friend. We have kept in touch ever since our days in the BOP. He was kind and caring man who brightened your day everytime you talked to him. I will miss him sorely but am a better person for having known him.

  6. Ron was a cousin and a friend. His interest in others made them feel good about themselves and about him. His gentle spirit will be missed.
