So sorry to hear about losing Ron. I haven't seen you guys for awhile, but may have just missed you if you stopped in at Collectamania. I haven't been in as much since adopting our grandkids almost 2 years ago. Arvin Olson called to tell me. I'm glad he did as I might have missed it in the paper. Sincere sympathies.

I will miss you every day.
I love you!

Ron was a great caring man who loved to enjoy life with his loving wife Shirley, family and friends. His metal detecting experiences with myself, Wayne Kolstead, and others were fantastic. Ron was always pitching in to help and be there for others. We will truly miss you Ron and I know you and Wayne Kolstead will be getting together and talking about all of those metal detecting finds and fun we shared during your life on earth. Our love to the family now and always.
