I don't even know where to begin...I have known Ron since he was a little boy.
And, loved him dearly. It was a horrible shock to me when I got the call, and have had a really hard time dealing with it. Instantly, I started having flash backs, and memories of things that he did or said..Things that happen , good and bad. I will miss him so much, and it will not be the same. He spent so much time with us it was almost like he belong to us. He was a sweetheart, and I loved him so much... My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love, Dianne

I knew him as Big Ron, and what I did know of him he was one of a kind. A hell of a guy with a big heart. He certainly knew how to make you laugh and will be greatly missed. I just wanted his family to know I am very sorry for their loss. RIP Big Ron.

Ron and Mike,
I am so sorry about your dad, no one can ever take his place. He's someone that no body will, or could, ever forget thats for sure. I would always look foward to listening to him and lil hap go back and forth at the reunions and thats something i will definatley miss. It was always you better go kiss your uncle Ron girls, and we wont get to do that anymore. I'll never forget him and he will always be with us. He could fill a room with laughter in a heartbeat, singing Elvira or licking somebodys face. He was an amazing guy.
Much love- Jessi

My sympathies to all who will miss "Uncle Wonny". He was such a big part of so many lives over the years. The word "cousin" doesn't seem fit to describe the bond between Greg and him, or so many other of his cousins. The closeness of the Farnsworth offspring is unmatched by any other families' that I have every witnessed.
I have so many memories of times spent with him. Many weekends at the Rose Bowl....trips to Colorado....the many hours spent watching him pitch game after game of softball. He was a machine on the field, pitching countless games in so many tournaments. The marathon of games in Altoona, the eight o'clock tournament games after a night of quality time spent at the bar will never be forgotten. People learned quickly not to offer him doughnuts at those games :)
My daughter, Kari, was the first person (at the tender age of two) I ever saw to embarass him to a crimson glow. Not fit to print in a public forum...but I will be happy to share that story if you don't all ready know it. Just ask.
He was unmatched in his rendition of "Elvira" in Karaoke. I would pray that it was not requested whenever I was at the bar when he was...it wasn't pretty.
My thoughts are with you Ron and Mike, as they are with all the others who loved him and will miss him ever so much.
I will never again be called "Beatrice".

Ron and Mike, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I loved him so much. I'll always remember him and the funny things he did. When one of us girls would bring a man around he would go up to the man and say to him, " Are you Fu--ing my niece." He always was watching out for us girls.
Again, I am so sorry.
I Love You guys,
Lil Deb

I don't even know what to say. Didn't think this would ever be happening so soon. I will always miss him and he'll always be with me. I'm so honored to have shared special memories between Uncle Ron and I. I'm here if any of you guys need anything. Love to you all. RIP Uncle Ron.
