Chris, Please accept our sincere condolences. Ron was a great guy. Smart, unique, always with a smile and kind word. Growing up across the Avenue from him was a real experience for our family. He learned as a young boy how to entertain the neighborhood kids, include everyone and how to get a nickel or dime out of us to see his magic shows in the garage. He was so lucky to have you in his life. The last years were difficult but you stood by his side and were such a faithful wife. Remember we are here for you.
