Ron loved his children and I, to the moon and back. Ron was extremely proud of his grandkids and took such pride in every single one of them. During Ron’s last days as we were looking at picture of our family and he said, “Well we did good mom, our family is amazing. The kids are so strong, and they have a bond that is unbreakable. I know that you all will be okay and that is what makes it so hard to say goodbye to you all.”
Ron loved to spend time on the river with whoever wanted to put a worm in the water. Ron was so relaxed when fishing and he loved to teach the grandkids how to fish.
Ron for all the years he worked in construction and travelled for his job would say the people he worked with were not just his co-workers and friends but in a way, they were family.
Ron came from a very large family and was so proud of where he came from. He loved telling stories of his sisters, brothers and cousins, that were like his brothers.
