How surprised to hear the sad news of Ron's death. He was such a joy to be around-always cheerful and positive. I had known Ron from Slauson days where he was a friend to everyone. Prayers and thoughts with Ron and the wonderful family left behind. He will be missed by all of us.

I'm sorry to hear of Ron's passing. I grew up down the street on Fair Oaks and it's hard to believe that it's been 25 years since I worked for him..I was 12 & 13 years old and I can still remember some of the talks and wisdom I learned riding around those summers in his Chevy..  My thoughts & condolences..

Dear Patty,

Ron and I were good buddies during our school days in Ann Arbor.  I will cherish those memories always.  Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family.

Pat and Family
Hearts are filled with sadness, as we have learned of the passing of Ron. His life long friends and classmates of Ann Arbor High will miss his charming smile and quick wit. We all have wonderful memories of Ron that will never be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you and family.                                 Katie Smith-Emery    Ann Arbor,Mi

Remember that as long as you have memories, he'll never be gone completely, so enjoy them.

When I saw your face free from care,
When I saw your brow no longer
furrowed with pain,
I knew I could let you go,
I have the memories that remain.

Loujean M Baker 29 September 1994

This was a poem that I wrote shortly after my husband's funeral. May it help you.

May God bless.

Pat,
I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing.  I am so very sorry for your loss.  I know your faith, family and friends will see you through this difficult time. My prayers are with you.

We've all lost a special person.Ron's smile and laugh filled the room. Always a devil! I never saw even a frown from him. Having him with me in the mountains awhile back was great fun. Knowing I'll never hear his voice again "makes my ears seem empty". Much Love to Patty and the Girls.  Doug Gray
Dear Pat and Girls,
We do share your sorrow. My memories of Ron are of fun, mischief and many laughs. We are so grateful for the time we spent with you and Ron at the reunion...fun, mischief, and laughs! Love to all,    Judy Gray

To Ron's family and friends,

I remember Ron well from Ann Arbor High School.  I wasn't really in his circle of friends, but he was a classmate, good football player, was well-liked and always had a quick smile or a joke.  I haven't spoken with him since high school, but fifty years seems like fifty minutes when that memory door re-opens.  Strong positive thoughts and prayers of comfort to you all, especially to you, Pat, from one of Ron's high school classmates.  In my own way, I share your loss, and wish you strength during this saddest of times. 

Julian Stienon

So sorry to hear of Ron's passing.  We were classmates from Mack School through Ann Arbor High.  It has been fun seeing him at the past reunions.  He will be missed by us all.  I lost my husband 1 1/2 yrs ago, so know the many changes you will face.  Chin up and be tough, it helps.  Prayers to you.

Dear Pat and family. I am so so sorry to hear of Ron's passing.....I will always remember his happy personality and great smile. May you be somewhat consoled by all the happy,loving memories over the years. Most sincerely, 
Boo Shaw  (nancy fink )

myprayers and condolences to Ron's family.  Jean (Martin) Zolman

I know how hard it is to be the one left behind, but Ron is at peace, and I hope you find comfort in your family and friends.  Kay (Keene) Sanville

When I heard about Ron, I was SURE there was some mistake.   He was
always so full of life, it was a pleasure to be with him.  I can still hear his
cheerful voice--probably telling a funny story--as if he were here right now.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I hope you find solace in all of the
wonderful things people say about Ron.  I will miss him too.

Steve Heald,  Ann Arbor, Michigan

Dearest Pat and family,  I am so sorry for your loss, it just doesn't seem possible.  Ron always had such a zest for life and I know we all loved seeing him at reunion time and he never aged!! Please know that my love and prayers are with you and your family. Sue Guthrie Gwinn

I was shocked and so sorry to learn of Ron's  death. It hardly seems possible. I know you all must be devestated.  

I'll always remember what great guy he was!  I still remember visiting Don and Pat in Ann Arbor when I was just a child, and Ron, a teenager at the time, was so nice to me.  He was just that kind of guy.

Pleae know you are all in our thoughts and prayers.  We send our deepest sympathy and regards.

Ralph & Johnny Cooke

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.
