Linda, Laura and family...so very shocked about Ron's passing. Praying for all to get thru this nightmare!
Dear Linda, Our condolences to you and your family. There aren't words enough to express how sorry we are. Ron was a special kind of person and will be missed by many. Hugs to you
Linda and family; Very hard to express ones thoughts and prayers in writing, but please know that is surely the case with us. The memories of Ron will be of a truly class man, one who put his words into action supporting the military families of lost loved ones. Can't say enough about that, but that is certainly a tribute to his respect for his military brothers, and his overall respect for others in a very difficult time. May God watch over Ron, and you Linda. This world surely lost a good one. Respectfully, Mark and Lisa
Linda, we are so deeply saddened about Ron. What a true gentleman! God always takes the good ones early. Please know that the entire family are praying for your strength, Linda. One thing for sure, when the angels took Ron to Heaven, I know for sure that our mom, Jean, welcomed him with open arms and a warm smile! She probably said, " hi Ron, let me show you how magnificent it is up here! 😇💔 We love you Linda, Kent and Mary

Ron's obituary tells the story of a life well lived - it was rich with adventure and many accomplishments, especially the positive impact he made on his loved ones and his community. We always enjoyed seeing him heading out in his Harley garb for a ride with friends - the sound of his bike returning will be greatly missed. We send our love and deepest sympathy to Linda and all of Ron's loved ones. Love, Sara and John
