My heartfelt condolences to Lois and family...I'm still stunned over this news. I'm so happy we were able to spend time together last summer...Death leaves a heartache  no one can heal...Love leaves a memory no one can steal..

Ron was a great person, a true friend who was loved by many, he will be missed. Rest in peace my friend!

To My Dear Friend , God has taken you home to be at his side. He knows of all the love and great memories you left behind. The Sorrow of your loss to them will become Happiness when all those Great Memories are thought of. God Bless You and Family. LOVE ALWAYS Santo Curatolo...

Lois, family & friends.  Ron was a great friend to many people, throughout his entire life.  As one of the 193rd Street boys, he was one of us since our childhood in Flushing, Queens.  Ron was always there to help a friend and joined us on many occasions over the years. I can not imagine Ron not being with us anymore.  I will miss him like I would a brother.  He will never be forgotten. John & Lamia Guarniere

My heartfelt condolences go out to you Lois and to all of Ron's family.

Lois and family:

So sorry for your loss.  Knew Ron since we were teenagers. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Maria and John Schnock

I knew Ron from work and remember his great sense of humor and easy ways. Was looking forward to spending time with Lois and him when we moved to FL at the end of the year. Very sad at his passing. Rest in peace, Ron.

Ronald, my brother-in-law, you will be missed.  I will especially miss our Christmas get togethers.  We didn't always have opportunities to see each other, but when we did we had great times, and lots of laughs. You will never be forgotten.

Ronald was not just my brother, he was my best friend.  He was always there for me since we were kids. I can't even put into words how much I will miss him.

Lois and family.... My prayers are with you. Ron is already missed. Thank you both for your kindness and friendship.

No words can describe Ron's sense of humor, great personality and calmness. I worked with him for more years than either one of us would like to count. He always made me smile and never got upset even in the worst of circumstances. I will always remember his voice. Lois and family wishing you good things during this difficult period. Know that he was important in many lives.

I had the pleasure of working with Ron for 10 years. He was a kind, gentle person who always made the bad days somehow turn good. He was full of life and we enjoyed many laughs together. He will be greatly missed.

Ron was a great friend.  I don't know anyone who lived a more full life (including all its ups and downs) or had as many friends as he did.  He was always up for the next challenge or adventure, and was always there for you if you needed something that he could help with.  I'm honored to have been his friend, and deeply saddened by his passing.

To Lois and Ron's family and friends.  We have only known Ron about ten years but he acted like he new us all his life.  His personality and smile will be remembered forever.  
Walt and Marie Mademann

Ron and I have been friends for 60 years.
