I have many fond memories of Ron when we all lived in Hollandale. One especially when we were all on bowling league together. He bet me I couldn’t make a 7-10 split. We were all amazed when I did! The look on his face was priceless. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Jean Van Wyngeeren Jaspersen

Dear Linda,
Today I learned of Ron’s passing. My heart breaks for you and your family. I feel so fortunate that I had an opportunity to meet Ron. The first time I saw him, I sensed kindness and warmth, his big stature matched his big personality. Also, I loved hearing you tell “Ron stories” — your affection and admiration for him was always apparent. He was a fortunate man to have such a loving wife.
My thoughts are with you and your family during this very difficult time.
