I was privileged to know Ron. I was fortunate to having fished, bowled, played softball and volleyball with Ron. We took many fishing jaunts to lakes and ponds in Kansas and Missouri. Some of my fondest memories are Ron and I going fishing. Sharon, thank you for sharing Ron with me. Everyone should be so fortunate as to have a friend like Ron. Phil Noah
We met Ron through volleyball and have been friends with him, Sharon and their girls for over 50 years. Throughout those years, we've shared many wonderful times and have so many fond memories. Ron was a really great person. He was so friendly and could always find something to talk about with anyone he met! He had such great stories about his hunting and fishing trips. We loved visiting them at their lake house. He was a great friend and an excellent bowling coach. We were so fortunate to have him in our lives and will miss him tremendously. Losing Ron has left a huge hole in our hearts. May he rest in peace. May God bless Sharon and the girls and their families.
