I am sorry to hear about Ron's passing. I will miss him greatly as he was always such a great friend to my husband, Clarence, and myself. Clarence and Ron worked together at Deere. Ron had continued to keep in touch since the death of Clarence.
God bless.
Ron was my favorite "bosses boss" of all time. He was my mentor of everything I wanted to be in a manager, supervisor, and example. I owe him a great deal. And I will miss our monthly visits over the phone.
Ronald was a good cousin to my Grandma Jean. I thought it was so dear and kind that Ronald called Grandma EVERY Sunday evening at 6:00 PM. Michael enjoyed getting to know Ronald and cooking for him at the assisted living community. Dependable, loyal, and dear double-cousins were Ronald and Grandma to one another. I've enjoyed the stories of family over the years and continue to hold-fast to memories of this generation. May Ronald be re-united with family and friends in Heaven.
Ron, you helped shape my life more than anyone will ever know. RIP. I love you.
So sorry to see that Ronald passed away. I'm sure he is in a much better place now and can rest peacefully. My thoughts and prayers are with all of your families.
