I have known Ron since we were 11 years old. We went to Memorial Pool and played baseball together. Our little league team (Red Socks) were the city Champs in 1963. We always had a great time playing sports and hanging out. He will be missed, rest in peace my friend
I've known Ron since Junior High at Keith. My husband and I bumped into him several years ago in Rehoboth and made it a point to get together for diner when we were there or when he was in Altoona. We really enjoyed listening to his talented son perform and Ron was so funny and entertaining himself. I always looked forward to his fb posts and would read and show them to my ailing husband. He would text to check on Mike after he was too sick to travel down and send him encouraging words as only Ron could.
He was a special friend to many and is dearly missed. Prayers for comfort to family and friends.

Although our time together was very short, it was full of music and laughter. You were a tremendous cook, friend, companion and so full of positive energy . You made everyone around you feel special and loved. I have never met a more thoughtful and caring person. I know you are enjoying your time in Paradise where the music never stops.. I will forever miss your beautiful heart and your contagious laughter.
