Ron was one of the most sincerely nice guys I've ever met. And extremely smart. He was a genuine friend to me during my cancer treatments, encouraging me, supportive, light hearted, positive and sweet....keeping a strong perspective for me to focus. I had no idea he was hurting...he was such an honorable, thoughtful and strong soul, never wanted to burden anyone with his troubles...which is so sad, since we ALL have times when a good friend makes ALL the difference. I had to learn the hard way, that it's OK to be vulnerable 'we don't have to go it alone' be perfect, have all the answers. etc.. It's often easier to give then receive ...but friendship and kindness others show us is their giving of their gifts, themselves.... And that is precious.
Thank you for your wonderful friendship Ron, I will never forget how much your kindness made such a difference.
God has a fierce Warrior with a beautiful heart by his side.
Rest in Peace Dear Friend...I thank you for being there for me, I only wish I was able at the time to be there for you.
