Hey Ron. Barbara and I are saddened along with your family, friends, and co-workers. You were one of the first people we met when we moved to Ohio in 1972. Thanks for all those years of friendship and professionalism in your career. It is of some consolation to know that your hard fought battle is over and you’re now at peace. Say hi to Bob when you get to the next stop and we’ll see you on the other side.

Ron, rest in peace .Thanks for the memories. So many fun times It all stated at Heights in 1963. I think the highlights would be the car break in at Mikey Finns, your 40 party, ,The big storm night in Huron basin , and especially all our weekends at Cedar Point. You were a top professional , one of the best I had the best that I had the pleasure of working with. I picture you are up in heaven and have hooked up with Phil Spinucci .It would be fun to see you on a stink boat..
Again, thanks for the memories my friend, you will be missed
Rest in peace

Ron, you loved being out on the waters more than anything other than your family. As a coworker, there were none greater. Nevertheless, I found our relationship to be a special friendship rather than work accomplishments. Those lunches and discussions we had over them are so memorable!!! Sail on "Main Man" because you are at the wheel.

Rest In Peace Mr. T. You have been a coworker and more importantly a great friend for 30 years. I always look at you as a first class man that I always enjoyed being with and maybe tossed back some alcoholic beverages. You will be missed but never forgotten.
I know you’re a captain but I will always remember you as Mr.T. Goodbye my friend.
Melissa and Ronnie, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your dad. He was a heck of a guy and a great friend. We had some great times that I will cherish forever!! May he rest in peace!!

Dad, Thank you for always loving and supporting me. I loved our yearly trips to the boat and cedar point. You always had mine and Melissa back through all of our shenanigans. (When we hit the hawk aka mailbox, when I was driving Melissa’s car and someone hit me, when we could only use 3 squares of toilet paper) and that’s only a few of my fondest memories. Rest In Peace Dad. I love you!
