The first time I met Ron was over 49 years ago. I was in the kitchen with Elsie. Ron came in and asked me if I was going to have a baby. I told him, “I hope so someday.” He said, “When you have a baby I’ll give the baby one of my puppies.”

All though I ocassionaly see Elsie, Mike or Steve, Ron and My paths have not crossed in many many years. I have often thought about taking the time to just go to Tri cities and look Ron up, but life sometimes takes up our time.I regret not getting to know his family. I will keep him in my thoughts, God Bless You Ron.

I cant beleive how long I have know Ron. our entire life. Ron has always been a wonderful man and a great friend. I will definately miss you Ron and remember you forever. Ricky and Casey. boys I am very sorry. please stay close to each other and dont let anything seperate you two. stay strong.
Ron was always a wonderful guy. I have know him for 25 years. wow along time to think about it. But he was the type of guy who never would say anything to hurt any ones feelings. He always treated people with the up most kindness. He also loved to tell the strangest and funniest bar stories. I will never for get you Ron. I also remeber ron comin into the Frontier tavern, I had not seen him in forever when he came in there, he was always playing mind games with me but it was fun, he had the laugh that any one could hear and remember miles and miles away. I will always remember Ron and all the things that he did. Ricky and Casey I am so very sorry. I still love you both like my brothers. you guys will be ok you are very brave and tough and you can definately beat any obsticle that comes in your path. Stay positive. Love ya Guys.
I will always remember Ron’s laugh and his smile. In fact, I often sought him out on those days when things just weren’t going very well and he would, of course, make the small things seem so very unimportant! He has been a real delight to be around.
I have learned that most people fit into one of two groups – those that bring smiles as they enter a room; and those that do so as they leave. Well, Ron was definitely in the first group!
It was a pure pleasure to have known Ron, and I am sure the world is just a little bit better because of him!
He will surely be missed by all…
As being one of the youngest kids in our families, I am really surprised to always been comfortable around Ronnie…he always made time for us little squirts even when he didn’t have to.
He had a kind heart for everyone and I love that about him.
But isn’t that what its all about? Taking time for one another…what a gift he had and shared….we will all miss you Ronnie.
God bless & keep you….
