He will definitely be missed. Ron was an outstanding guy! He always had a smile on his face and was kind to everyone. He rarely stopped moving-hiking and biking with his Sharon, playing cornhole and pinball with the boys, super athletic especially playing volleyball and track and field. He loved watching his grandkids doing whatever they were into at the time. And he loved his family fiercely. Plus, he was a great pinochle player! We will miss you friend!
So sorry for your loss, it was such a , pleasure knowing Ron. He will be missed.
I was so sorry to hear of Ron’s passing, and even sorrier that we lost touch these past years. I was one of the three Sharon’s, along with Joyce, who lived in a little pink house in Chico for a time, and I think I might have a picture of me fixing Sherrie’s hair before she and Ron got married. Sherrie was also one of my bridesmaids when I married my Ron. Such wonderful people and so sorry Ron is no longer with us. Please convey my most heartfelt condolences to Sherrie, and let her know I’m thinking of her. I hope she is well, and I know she has a lot of family to support her during this sad time.
I was so looking forward to hearing about Ron and Sharon’s trip. I’m glad he got to live his dream. He will be missed.
We just met Ron and Sharon on the Oceania Around the World Cruise. They were both just delightful and we enjoyed getting to know them and spend time together. Ron was so devoted to Sharon and took such good care of her. He had such a peaceful nature and a kind soul. We will miss him very much. Our deepest condolences to Sharon and his family.
