I was very chocked to learn its disparition, specially I was in contact with him last december, and he gave me many good advice for a stay in Florida.
He will miss to many people
I offer my sincere condolences to Ron family
Lisa, my BFF… Words cannot begin to express my sincere sympathy for your loss. I know that Ronnie truly loved you, Alex and Brandon with all of his heart and soul. I believe that he would want you to celebrate his life rather than mourn his death. Prayers for you for the strength to continue your life as Ronnie would have wanted you to. Love you!!
So sorry for your loss Lisa – Thoughts and prayers are with you and your boys.
Ron was a colleague of mine when he worked for Medtronic. He always had a smile and positive attitude…..a true professional. His love of the outdoors was superseded only by the love for his family . I’m so sorry for your loss.
