So sorry for Ron’s passing ~ my prayers will be with his family! Ron was always pleasant to interact with and faced things head on. He always made the point to ask how I was when I saw him, even with all he was going through. He will be missed and left this world too son.

I only met Ron once, at the Miles City Cancer Support Group, but it was long enough to see he was a special kind of person. He was a very open person who just seemed to glow and I had a great time visiting with him and Mary that night. Praying for strength for Mary and my condolences to her and Ron’s family.
