Chris, Jennifer and family, We are so heart broken by the news of Ron's passing. Helena and I will always love you and Ron for your kindness, and loving generosity over the 27 years of being your next door neighbors. Both our sons, Greg and Mike, learned so much growing up from Ron about hard work and the values of life that they continue to carry throughout their lives and careers today.
We will aways remember Ron for his kindness, honesty, and integrity for being a true man. I always thought of him as a brother I could count on for anything like fixing up our trucks and building pools, sheds and garages. He was a man of many talents.
Chris, Jennifer & family,
Jack & I sending our deepest sympathy for the passing of Ron. You have been our neighbor for over 40 years & remember seeing Ron working in your yard, enjoying your pool & his dedication to his family.
You all are in our prayers.
May he rest in peace.
Chris and family. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
