Vickie:

I am sorry for your loss.  I remember the times Ron and his former boss, Charlie Hawk, and myself would have at the Chester County Life Underwriters Meetings, taking LUTC and CLU Classes together as well as other social events. 

Vickie, you can rest easy in that Ron is watching over you and will always be with you and his friends.

Vicky, Andy, Raquel and the girls,

I was saddened to hear of Ron's passing.  When I last saw and spoke with him, Sophia and Gabriella were sitting on his lap and the three of them were giggling and joking and having a wonderful time.  It was apparent that he was a terrific granddad and I'm sure he was a great dad as well.  No better legacy.

                                                                                                                love,

                                                                                                                Stew

My name is Christine Fisher and I worked with Ronald while he was employed at The Vanguard Group. He was a very sweet, loving man. He genuinely cared about the people around him. He was always so willing to jump in and assist where he could. And I loved the stories he told about his family and close friends. I often thought about Ronald after he retired. My condolences go out to his family during this difficult time. Rest in peace, dear friend!

Dear Miss Vickie, Donnie, Drew, Doreen and Family,

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of your husband and father. I didn't know him that long, but I didn't need to, to know how much love he had and gave to you, for how much love you all share with me. I feel connected to him because of you. I am so glad my family and I had some time with him this summer. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love Nikki

I was shocked to hear this news tonight. I had just gotten his address a couple of days ago to write Ronnie a note and I asked Shirley about him tonight on Facebook when she shared this news.  It has been a long time since I have seen or heard from Ronnie but I have the fondest memories of him growing up in Pomeroy with Aunt Dot, Uncle Ralph and PopPop.  My mother, Norma Gatley and I want you to know how sorry we are to hear this and what good memories we have of cousin Ronnie. We are so sorry we can't be there with you.  You all will be in our prayers.
