I just found out that Ron passed away. I am so sorry. Ron and I have known each other for around 40 years. We would get together here and there until Ron moved to Delaware and at that point we only talked on the phone. I had hoped to visit him this summer. What a wonderful man and I will miss him.
So sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed.
I just learned of Cousin Ron's passing today. Almost immediately I envisioned him in a special place, beside his Heavenly Father. Ron father and mine were brothers. Our families resided in the same neighborhood in Reading, Pennsylvania. We kids went to the same schools. He and my sister were the same age, and in the same grade. I was a year older then Ron. After marrying in 1965,, I moved to New Jersey. Due to work and other family obligations, I mostly saw my cousins at funerals....and otherwise kept in touch with an occasional line in a Christmas card ! I remember Ron as a sensitive young person. I never heard him say a harsh word about anyone. Even as a youth, he seemed uncommonly caring of other's feelings..I remember walking to grammar school with him one morning ( close to Christmas)....he was saying that he almost had enough money saved to buy his mother a particular lamp he'd seen is a local gift shop. I remember, at the time, wondering how many other kids of his age would be that generous and considerate ! Another time, when his mom had a medical issue, Ron came to stay with my family for a few days. Ron and my sister were in 5th or 6th grade, and it so happened, they both came down with nasty colds...well my mom gave them both the "Florence Nightingale treatment": rubdowns with vics; chicken soup; and whatever else to get those two kids well. Ron never forgot the TLC he received from his "Aunt Rosie". In fact, it became one of his most cherished childhood memories ! Ron took good care of his mother after she was widowed; and even though there was a distance between them, he did whatever he could to help his sister, Caroline....as she aged and had difficulties walking. Ronnie, you and your beautiful Christmas cards will be sorely missed....may you rest in peace. Love you, Cousin Pat Ferraro Kirk
Ron, we enjoyed all our times with you...you were always cheerful and fun to be around. I'm still using the lovely storage box you gave me. John has great memories of your drum corps times together. You will be missed.
Ron, I can never thank you enough for bringing laughter to the workplace and always putting a smile on my face. I had the privilege of working with you for six years and then continuing our friendship for four years after that. Your sincere kindness and generosity was always appreciated. You were always there and willing to help anyone in time of need. I will miss our lunches with coworker Bill Lake. You were usually the topic of conversation. Fond memories indeed! Rest in peace Ron. You will be deeply missed.
Your friend, John Sparacino
Farewell Ron. We will see you soon. Still can't believe your gone. I still hear in my said you saying " Don't start what you don't Have to stop'. I' m sure you will keep the angels smiling with your lovely jokes. Rest in Peace my friend.

Ronnie, Thank you for all of the time you spent with us, and all of the laughs that we shared over the years. Our love for you will continue until we are together again. God bless your good soul. Sending hugs and kisses. Linda
Farewell and Gods speed Ron. You have been a dear devoted friend and like a brother to me. When I first met Ron in 2010 in Rehoboth Beach, DE. Ron had just bought the house next to two friends of mine David and Dave. I Remember the first evening I met him, my friends said, "Hey we have a new neighbor that moved next door and we have finally met, and we've invited him to go out to dinner with us, would you like to come along?" I said sure that'd be great. That evening the three of us walked next door to Ron's and he had prepared a coffee table full of hors d'oeuvres, shrimp cocktail and almost anything you could think of, and we were heading to dinner. I sat down and Ron was very personable but, as he went to prepare some drinks, I was looking around the living room and there were tags on almost every piece of furniture. There were tags on the lamps. I even picked up a candle holder and there was a sticker underneath of it. Being the demur "Hahaha" person that I am, I remember saying to Ron "Ron, are you the Minnie Pearl of furniture?" and that was the start of our 14yr friendship. You are missed and loved Ron. God sent an angel in disguise and that was you. Love you buddy. Mark "Thatcher" Schmidt.
