May you rest in peace, Good Friend. There is an emptiness left by you that can NEVER be filled. Mitch and I just won’t know what to do with ourselves without your visits, phone calls and trips to the casino. You’re 1 in a million, Ron, hard to find true, genuine friends like you were to us. And our deepest condolences to all of your family and friends. We love you! From Mitch and Tammy
