‘I JUST CAME BY TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
DON’T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS Ron,
JUST CHECKING IN TODAY.’
Rest easy Daddy, your battle is finally over. Love Jennifer

So sorry to hear about Ron’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family now and in the future. I was a classmate of Ron’s at HHS, class of 1966. Really enjoyed having him as a classmate during our high school years.
Sorry for your loss, did he teach music in Thornton IL at Wolcott School in the mid 1970’s ??
Ron, I was just thinking about some of the things we used to get into together the other day. Especially how we had a shooting range for our BB guns in my basement until one of us hit one of my mothers canning jars. The years at Waterman, HHS and in the scouts. I know you guys are probably setting there waiting on me. Someday soon we will all be togherer again soon. Everyone tells me I am not done here yet. Your old buddy Ron the other Ron
