I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Ron was a wonderful person who always put a smile on my face. I enjoyed working with him at the City of O’Fallon. He will be missed. Prayers for Ron and for you and your family.
Prays to all of you. I was on parks board for many years with Ron and worked many events with him as well. He was a very good man still can’t believe he is gone. So blessed to have met him.
I was so sad to hear of Ron’s passing, I worked with Ron for a couple of years, he was fun to be around, he always had a good joke to tell. My thoughts and prayers are with all of Ron’s family.
