My thoughts and prayers are with the family. So sorry for your loss. It is hard to see them go. In my mind my Dad, Jack, Tom and Ronnie will always be young crazy men. I send my love.

Ron was the first person to welcome us to the neighborhood 14 years ago. Him and his wife Donna came to be good friends. I'm so heartbroken over his passing. The one thing I remember most was my late husband, Tom, stopping over many days a week to bullshit with Ron. They were both smart-asses, 2 peas in a pod. Now they'll be together and can bullshit all they want. I'll never forget you Ron. Rest in peace. 😥💔🙏
