He was always so kind and willing to help. A giant of kindness, gone to soon. It's been many years since we worked at the South Service Center, but the foreman there were the cream of the crop! May you be comforted by the many memory making moments you shared.

I want to express my gratitude for having known Ron. He was one of the nicest people I've ever worked with. We had some good laughs in the dispatch office at Questar and great conversations too. Although it's been a few years since I've seen Ron, I always thought of him with great fondness. I'm very sorry to his family for your tremendous loss.

Sherrie, and all of the family, News of Ron's unexpected passing left us deeply saddened. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Although it's been a long time since we've lived in the same neighborhood, there are so many fond, warm memories of those "growing up" years. We pray that the peace of the Lord will be with you and that time will soften today's heartache. Ralph and Edy Howes
