Dear Shirley & Family,
Dennis and I are so very sorry for your loss. Ron was a wonderful man, co-worker, mentor, and boss. His tremendous work ethic and giving spirit were characteristics for which we should all strive, and for which he will be remembered by many. I recall with great fondness his stories, and his remarkable memory. He was a blessing to all who knew him.
Sending Hugs and Prayers,
Dennis and Becky Essner
One of the nicest people you could ever meet. Heaven has truly gained a exceptional angel. Prayers for Shirley and the family.
It seems as if I had known Ron all my life. His sister, Connie, and I were very good friends. I spent many a night at the Dugal house. Do I need to mention that Ron would aggravate us? However, buy. . .he was fun to have around!
Have always liked Ron. My prayers are with the family.
Ron was a gentle man who cared for family and friends all of his life. He led by example with the heart of empathy/giving. We were blessed to have Ron in our lives and to be a part of his extended family. Shirley, we pray for your comfort and offer our deepest condolences. Love to you and your family. God has a special man in heaven today.
