I met Ron when he and his wife would visit Stephanie at work. He was so proud of his daughter and the job she was doing. He always wore a smile and I remember him joking with Steph and making all of us laugh. I always enjoyed when they would pop in.  You could tell how special Stephanie was to him. 

To Phyllis and family:

Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
My prayers are with you and your family,

Sincerely,

Beth Ison 
El Camino Memorial 

Dear Phyllis, Tami, Ron, and Stephanie,
Know of our love for each of you and of our sorrow at the passing of your dearly loved husband and father (and grandfather and great grandfather!). We have such wonderful memories of the many times we were together over the past 40 years! Ron was such a good guy - pleasant, kind, interesting, fun to be around. We are so grateful he made the effort to join us last January at La Jolla Beach in spite of his acute fatigue. He will be sorely missed by us!
Because I (Lorraine) am scheduled for a knee replacement on September 1st, we dare not risk covid by breaching our limited area of contact. We are sad to miss the memorial service on August 24 but will be there with you in spirit!
Love and prayers to all,
Mike and Lorraine Pinnell

Like Julie, I will always remember how sweet Ron was with the Nursery children. He was always the first to volunteer to help out in the Nursery, with a smile on his face. I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your memories of your loving husband and father. Sending my love to you, Phyllis.

We will always remember Ron in Nursery. He would get down on the floor and play cars with the kids. They loved him. All our love to your family. 

Your dad had the best, infectious smile. Always had a huge grin especially when he was in the presence of his beautiful family. My love and prayers are with you all. May you all find peace and comfort within your family. God bless
Love ,
Michelle, Rick, Lila,Hudson,Lincoln and Harlow Cloud
