My sympathy goes out to both of you Kristi and Kari! I got the pleasure of meeting Ron a few years ago when he meet up with Shirley. We had a lot of fun golfing a couple of times together and enjoyed him being able to take the cruise with our family. I have talked to Ron a few times in the last couple of months just to see how he was doing and he asked me when I was going to get up their to golf around again, so he could at least make an attepmt to beat me. He was always a great person to vsit with and had lots of conversations and always was such a open-minded, fun person to be with. I just want you to know that we thought of him alot and my heart goes out to you and all your families. God be with you all.
