It is with great regret and sadness that I am not able to attend Uncle Ron’s service today but I would like to share some very fond memories of Uncle Ron over my past 58 years. I remember Uncle Ron as almost as larger then life, as a young boy and through my years growing up we spent many, many occasions together with our extended family and he was always the life of the party. With my Aunt Lenore playing the piano and Uncle Ron, my dad and my other uncles singing along (Mack the Knife was one favorite and Uncle Ron had a very good voice) to the many Christmas carols we sang to him being Santa Claus to all the jokes he told and many other memories I will always be so grateful to Uncle Ron for being part of such a wonderful family! These times we had together had a big impact on my life and Uncle Ron was always a big part of them! Throughout my adult years I have always had great admiration and respect for my Uncle and he will be greatly missed! With my sincere condolences and love. Wayne
