Ron I enjoyed joking with you about your Vietnam unit the Big Red One and my Vietnam unit the First Cav. We helped a lot of Veterans and their Families at Franklin County Veterans Services. It was a pleasure knowing and working with you! You're with the Lord, you're in a Good place!

Ron was such a friendly soul, always ready with a warm greeting and a great sense of humor that would brighten anyone’s day. We’ll always remember his deep comforting voice and he always lit up when talking about football and when he spent time in the service. Even through the health challenges of recent years, his spirit never seemed to fade. He will truly be missed. Our heartfelt sympathy to Jane and the family. May he rest in peace.
