Dear Carol, I am so sorry for your loss. The day before Ron's obit appeared in The Day paper I received a delivery from New Penn. I asked the driver if they ever had heard from Ron in his retirement. He looked at me strangely and said New Penn just the day before posted a notice of his passing. I remember Ron driving for New Penn for years and I believe Savin Express before they sold out to New Penn. When I think of drivers being professional I think of Ron. Always a warm smile and a hello, looking trim with that big belt buckle. I guess Ron and I go back to the late 70's - good man. May he rest in peace.
