Birdie

I keep waiting for you to walk in our house with a cooler and some laughs, probably a couple of stare downs for me and a hi birdie. Or when I walk in to visit Granny and see you sitting at the end of the breakfast bar either reading the paper, cooking, or staring at the tv out of the top of your glasses. Or for you to yell at Beu to get out of the living room..hehe.And I always see you waving goodbye from the back porch just as always. It still doesn't feel real, I'm still waiting for you to come home, and i'm always thinking about what you'd be doing with Owen and how you would probably be hogging him. He has a such a silly personality and I know you would have loved him. I know you are watching over us and especially Tim...Thank you Papa... He will miss the abuse!! and I will miss teaming up on him with you. We love you and miss you and promise to take good care of Granny. I have and always will admire the love you both had for each other even after so many years. Thank you for all the love, lessons, and laughter along the way and I will always have a part of me missing where you will remain and keep you in my heart. I love you Papa Always. I hope your golfing, drinking beer, cracking jokes, and making others smile just as you always have.

Grandpa we may not be able to see you anymore but I know you are looking down at all of us and watching over us. You were the best grandpa I could ask for. I'm gonna miss your great laugh, smile and just everything about you. I will never forget when we came to visit when Chloe was 6 months old and you were trying so hard to get her to say PAPA. I can still hear you saying that. And you were teasing us one day that you were the only one Chloe would go to sleep for when you rocked her in your chair. Grandpa you were just a great person over all. I'm very sad you will not be able to meet Benjamin when he is born but I know you will see him from above. I love you Grandpa!

Its so sad to see such a man capable of bringing so many smiles to the world taken so soon. He was always so helpful...whether it unlocking my locker, letting me in the school bc I was running late and got locked out, or just trying to trip me with the vaccuum cord...he always managed to brighten my day. Such a great man taken from the town of kendall. Prayers go out to his family, and may he rest in piece <3

I am very sorry for your loss. I use to see Ron every Sunday at the Breeze Inn, in Point Breeze. I worked there for many years, and we all looked forward to Ron coming in for breakfast before he went golfing. He made us all laugh with his many stories and jokes. He did have a laugh and sense of humor that brought smiles and laughter to all. Ron will be sadly missed by many. Mary Freeman

Kate and family: So very sorry to hear of Ron's passing. We would always wave as I went to work at the Town Hall. He was such a hard worker, preparing for our cold long winters. I am confident we will all see him again, truly in a better place. Again our sincere sympathy. Larry and Joan Weed.
God Bless You and Your family our prayers are with You!

As a Kendall graduate and athlete, it was an honor to know Ron. During Basketball or Volleyball games you would always expect Ron to poke his head in a couple of times to check the score, and to watch the game. The next day in school he would always comment about the game and tell us how well we did! He took pride in what he did and he helped out whenever he could. He always showed an interest in what the students and athletes took part in. He will be missed by many. Thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Ron was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor. Everyone at school loved him. There were many times that Ron would give me something to smile about - even when the kids were driving me nuts. He will be missed. I can just imagine how hard Heaven is laughing with Ron. Prayers for each of you as you endure this loss.
