That’s a beautiful memory of my nephew. I didn’t see much of him due to location circumstances, but when I did, he was a sweet man who was at peace with himself and loved his fellow man.

So many memories from high school and beyond. Ron was a treasure and I’m so thankful that I got to know him. Even spending time reconnecting in later life. My thoughts and prayers to Michelle and all who feel his loss.

Ron gave you the best gift for the past five years – knowing time together was not infinite. You both used it to your advantage living a full life with complete love for each other, leaving nothing unsaid. Ron was a true gentleman and a prince who gave you a fairy tale life. You’ve been left with those many memories to look back and smile. Here’s hoping that will be soon.
