I will always remember Ron as such a nice guy. My thoughts are with his family. Love to my cousin Mary Anne.
I have looked for my cousin for over 50 years and to find him by reading his obit was not the way I wanted it. We lost touch while I was in the service. Ron his brothers and I had some good times growing up . I’m very sorry for your loss and that my wife and I are not able to attend his service.
I’m glad you replied. Ron was a wonderful man with a great family. I wish you could have met them. Ron often talked about you and your parents. He was fond of your family. I hope all is well with you and yours Sincerely, Mary Anne
