    To Ron’s family, my sincere condolences. I had the opportunity to see Ron every Wednesday and every other weekend. He needed to be seen last Tuesday so I had him on my schedule, and I didnt know that it would be the last time that I would talk to him . Ron wasn’t just a client to me, he’s a very good buddy whom I could talk with just about anything. I learned a lot of life lessons from him, and I always looked forward to see him. Rest in peace, my dear friend. Thanks for all the great conversations and good laugh.

    Ron was a mentor of mine and friend. He served on the Union Gas Dealer council and assisted in the growth of the Union Gas Dealer program. His time and his wisdom was always appreciated. Sorry to hear of the loss of your father Brad. He will be missed but I will always remember him as I use his guidance to this day.
