I worked with Ronda for years in our photography days and I first met Ron and Pat when I was Ronda's date at the Heritage Square Christmas show.  My first impression of Ron was of a hard working but gruff "No nonsense" kind of guy with a do what I say and don't cross me demeanor.  I can still hear him grumbling and shaking his head at us as we packed Ronda's tiny car with way too much stuff to drive it to California so she could ship it to Hawai'i .  And when Ronda and Polly came back for a visit the four of us went to a Rockies game and when Ron found out I was from Fort Morgan not far from where he had worked in Brush  and that my grandparents were German and made their own german sausage, butterball soup, glace and cabbage pockets, well....we had alot to talk about!!!!  From then on he always asked me about my family and if I had any good German food lately.  And when he'd see my crazy colored hair he'd make a wise crack (that can't be repeated here!) then Ronda would tell me later that he would ask "Ya don't think I offended him do you?"  and I think back to that first impression I had and just how inaccurate it really was.   I think of Ron with one simple and powerful word....UNFORGETTABLE!!!!!!

Coach Milton you were a great man...I remember the 1st day of softball you told me "You will never be a fast runner learn to be a smart runner" I'll ring my cow bell for you and Pat.... Love Sheryl

I worked with Ron before he went to United.  He was a great foreman  when we worked at Brush, Co.  At United we  worked together which were filled with fond memories.  He was a great person.

I'll miss our Broncos pre-game meetings at the bar!

Uncle Ronnie,I will miss you, You always made me laugh, love you lots!

Thank you for all the wonderful times and protecting me all those years. You were the best big brother any girl could ask for. You will always be with me. Love, your sis.

Dad you were the best, you made me strong. No words can be written to say how much I will miss you. RIP and don't let mom get away with too much!

We would like to express our deepest condolences from our ohana to yours. We may not have known him, but we heard great things about him from our dear friend and his daughter, Ronda. We are sure that he will be greatly missed but he will live on in all the memories he has shared.

I'll love my brother in law Ron forever.  You were a kind, and a loving person.  I have know you for 18 wonderful years.  I loved you the 1st time you picked us up at the Denver airport, carried my luggage, introduced me to your co-workers.
