My sympathy goes out to the family. A finer man and friend would be hard to find . Ron continued to play golf with us even know we all knew he didn’t feel well . If I am unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with the dreaded disease that struck Ron, I would hope to be half as tough as he was. God bless him and may the Lord bring peace to you to help heal your sorrow and let the fond memories help you heal the pain.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers a this time. Ron will be greatly missed by all. Remembering his many funniest antics may help ease your burden at this time.
Please let us know anything we can do to help now or in the future.
