What can I say...So sorry I just found out...My late wife Sharron also enjoyed watching Jenny and Carrie...Enjoyed Ronnie in the Last Supper Tableau at Christ Church....He will be missed..God be with all of you.
In the few short years I have known Ron, he and Charlotte have left an imprint on my heart that will last forever. Ron was such a kind man and I sincerely looked forward to our visits. He would come find me on my route, and sometimes I’d get to see Charlotte and “the boys” too. We would compare stories about working outside and the challenges it brings, we would talk about Charlotte whom he loved so deeply for so many years, we would talk about how Connor was doing, and how proud he was of him. We would always end by talking about his two sweet pups (he would often have them with him) and how they were always causing ruckus and doing something to amuse him. Ron was truly a bright spot in my day and I will miss him. My heart goes out to his loved ones.
Ron will be greatly missed. My fondest memories of Ron will always be watching how him are Charlotte were there for every moment of Connor’s life. Ron was truly a remarkable man, always putting others before himself.
Smitty set a great example of what is good and right in the world, each and every day. His courteous demeanor, selfless actions, work ethic, and pearls of wisdom always brightened the day. He had the ability to handle success and adversity with equal grace.
I was glad to have made his acquaintance, and am better for it.
