I met Ron around 21years ago. Him and his Beautiful wife came into Swiss chalet where I was working at the time for dinner. They were seated in my section and I had the honor of serving them. There was a connection from day 1. I worked there for 5 years and I had the pleasure of serving them every time they came in. Ron was very presisent that I serve them and that I did. It was a true pleasure to have been able to build a great connection with them both. Ron reminded me of my grandfather who was an outstanding man just like Ron. He was always laughing, making me laugh giving me great advice and always knew how to cheer me up. Outside of work we connected as well. He knew my 2 Beautiful children and when we went to visit both Ron and his wife made us feel very comfortable and welcomed in there home. When I heard the news of his passing it hurt my heart. I will never forget what a great man he was and I will never forget how huge his heart was. He’s most definitely going to be missed. Sending my deepest condolences to his beautiful wife and family and friends. Rest in peace my beautiful friend xo♥️

My Uncle Ron was a terrific man, and one of the qualities I love about him was the importance he placed on the family. It meant everything to him. Over the past many years, in our conversations, I learnt some fascinating things about the family and in particular about my Dad, Ed. I’m am very thankful for those talks with Uncle Ron, and I will surly miss him. A great man, indeed.
