I am sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He was a strong, intelligent, funny man with a king-sized handshake who could recite from memory many famous poems and words of wisdom. Condolences to Linda and the family.

Ron had such a brilliant mind and there was no one who could raise your spirits better than Ron. He brought out the best in everyone. It is so difficult to imagine that he will no longer be smiling and encouraging and hugging! He gave the best hugs! My heart goes out to Linda and his family. My prayers for your comfort and wellness!
As long as we remember, Ron's spirit will remain with us!

Ron was an amazing man who loved his family so much. He was like a dad to all of his daughters friends. I will always remember his life advice and sense of humor. All of my love is with the family during this very difficult time.
