I loved being in Ron’s presence. Always loved the joke of the day, how he always smelled like vacation because he always wore sunblock, and seeing pictures and hearing stories about his family. They were number 1 in his life. His energy and love for live was intoxicating. You will be missed dear friend. ❤️
