    It is with great sadness that I extend my most sincere condolences to Emilee, Mike, Steve, Doug, Suzanne and your loved ones. My prayers are with you all. Ron was a great, honorable man, whom I always respected and admired. More so, my Father Lambert, for decades, had referred to Ron as his and partner and close friend. This made him like family to me. He will be greatly missed. May the good Lord welcome him home!
