    Dear Pat and family
    Ron was such a fantastic family and community man. I will never forget his warm hello and million dollar smile! I always felt safe in his presence. All those years in both Huron Park and working at Dashwood Industries created a lot of great memories for me! You two were a solid couple and I will forever be grateful for the inspiration! Praying for your grace & strength at this sorrowful time.
