Mary Lou; I was truly surprised and saddened to hear this news. Even though it has been many years since I have seen you folks, I still considered Ron a great friend. My memories of him all involve having fun and when I picture him in my mind I see exactly the same smile as is in this picture. I will miss him greatly. Steve Duerre (Droop)
