    Ron was one of the friendliest, funniest and happiest guys I knew. He was a great fastball coach that I had the pleasure of playing for, for several years and a lot of wins. He was passionate and always positive with the players. Our condolences to his family and his many friends. He was just so likeable! He will be sadly missed!

    To the family and my dear friend Kelly, I am so sad for you during this time of your loved ones passing. I never met Ron but as I read about his smile I see it always in his loving daughter and my dearest friend Kelly. Such a loving prescence to pass on and what a loving jolly person you must have been. I know you will be missed greatly by her and her family. So glad you became a grandpa and great grandpa in your life here on earth not many have that beautiful opportunity. I hope fun memories will occupy the sadness and loss with the passage of time. Thank you for the gift of Kelly to this world as your smile shines through hers and she loved and will miss you very much . May you rest in peace always and may comfort come soon to all your family and friends during your transition from this world to heaven. God bless.

    Cherryle & family
    My condolences to you on the passing of Ron. My memories of Ron aren’t many but very memorable.
    Going up to Balsam Lake with Ron’s brother Bill & Pat to Rob & Sandy’s cottage.
    Ron & Cherryle joined us a few times.
    The last time I saw Ron was up at the cottage, Rob & I were in one boat, Ron & Bill were in another out
    fishing. I was ‘smoking’ the boys shutting them out!
    I used Bill’s Christmas tree pole (red & green beads on the line) and ‘bam’ I hooked a Muskeye!! reeled it in took a picture, gave it a kiss released it. What great memories that week was fishing, campfires, playing dice, great bbqing.
    Ron has joined brother Bill in heaven, up at the best fishing spot ever! Make sure you ‘mark’ it boys!
