Ron you will be greatly missed. The love you had for Jan and your children and your grandchildren was unbelievable. You worshipped the ground they walk on and it showed everyday. Take your wings and fly high now and just remember to save a place for all of us Oh yeah when you see Dennis go on a boat trip with him and set up a few trot lines
Ron you will be greatly missed by family and friends. You are now with your mother, father and John again. You no longer have to suffer. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jan, your children and grandchildren. Now be good and don’t get into trouble. Love you.
