I thought I would share another memory. I remember those July 4th BBQ's we use to have. Could that BBQ be any hotter? I doubt it.... Lol...I remember the 1950's green chev truck and you always smoking a cigar or a pipe. I know we all had some ruff times in life but overall we had it pretty good. I will always cherish my memories of you and the rest of my family during my childhood. Love all of you and miss you greatly....Ron

Unk, We will miss you so much. Thank you for your humor on those wonderful beach vacations and Christmas gatherings. I really miss those times when we as a big family all got together. Ricky locking Uncle Dick in the outside shower and you offering to double his allowance if he didn't unlock the door. Ridge and David burying the dead fish outside the window of the beach cottage and your comments afterwards were priceless. You always put a smile on my face. Oh and how could I forget every time we came over you getting our ears with your rough face when we were kids. And also the time you and Uncle Dick came over at Christmas and put groceries in our cabinets and presents under our tree. Thank you for your ability to make us laugh and smile when times were tough. To Mindy, Ridge, David, Kathy, Uncle Dick and family we are so sorry for every ones loss. We love you all. Ron & Sue
