It's weird that once someone is gone, you learn a lot of things about them. I thought I knew my dad pretty well. We has so many long talks about life and stuff we'd gone through. We had similar perspectives on so many things. I was thinking about his passing and all the drama and wishing I could talk to him. Isn't that insane? I have to hold on to WHAT I KNOW about my father so keep me from falling into that crater. I had a dream that my brother and I were asleep in the same room (like when we were kids) and sleep talking to each other about dads passing. I wonder if he had the same dream...

I was making some popcorn last night and getting ready to watch some Night Court with my wife. I had a thought of calling my Dad but then it hit me that he wouldn't answer my call. It's times like this that it hits me that he's gone. This was one of our favorite shows to watch together. I just shake me head and think this seems too soon. Gonna miss him till I am not on this Earth any longer.

Well the memories keep flooding back. I remember once when I was little maybe 6 I got sent to my room by Dad. I think my Dad felt bad so he came in and turned off the lights to show me the static from the sheets he had just taken out of the dryer. I loved it so much I remember it still. My Dad never had to yell at me to get me to do things. He just had to show me his mammoth of a hand and that was good.

Before 2020 my Dad would come over a bunch. More at our house but also after we moved into our apartment. I remember the last time because I walked him down our stairs cause I worried about him. I always enjoyed our chats and he always said yes to a cup of coffee.

I was so blessed to have attended Ron and Wynnette's wedding, and knew immediately that he was a kind and loving soul. I know that he was a devoted family man - so many heartwarming stories of his generous attention to his loved ones over the years - people and pugs! I'm so sorry for your loss, and hope that the wonderful memories of him help Wynnette and his children through this difficult time.

Ron will be missed. I always enjoyed Wynnette’s stories about Ron and the pugs, especially Daisy. We also enjoyed having him as an honorary member of our coffee club. Our thoughts and prayers are with Wynnette & family. So sorry for your loss.

Dad and eldest grandson Tommy. I love dads genuine smile here. This is what he looked like for many years - or at least this was his wardrobe! For as long as I can remember he wore a bandana or had one on him.

Dad was full of stories. I started recording our phones calls around the end of 2019 so I could write a book about him. He kind of scoffed at that - not thinking his stories were interesting enough. I knew he wouldn't live forever, like you think your parents will when you're a kid. But I can make his words live forever.

Ron and Wynnette drove down to Bakersfield the summer of 1992 for my college graduation. It was the first time I met Ron, and I could see how happy they were together. My sincere condolences for your loss.

Ron, you were a warm, gentle spirit. I remember our short time together in Oregon. I remember your joy eating the sweet potato pies I baked for you. I don’t think they were as good as my mother’s, but you delight was unmistakable. Rest in peace.

Uncle Ron wrote to me once, while I was in Basic Training. I kept the letter. He also taught me the mental trick to walk it off when you tear up your knees falling off a bike, and what a gable and a joist is (though that lesson didn't really stick, unfortunately).
He always felt so steady and sturdy. I'm glad to have known him.

One time years back, I needed to go to the dentist. My parents had my grandpa Ron take me. When we got back to my house, we just sat down and talked. He would tell me stories about the war and when he was in the military. Even thought we were talking for maybe 2 hours it felt like 5 minutes. We would also talk every so often on text. He would text me from time to time to check in or to congratulate me on my accomplishments. I wished I was closer to him. Rest In Peace Grandpa Ron.

A memory about my dad. There are so many it’s hard to pick just one. Ok when I was little we didn’t have money for a Christmas tree. So we went up into the woods near our house and cut one down. I’m going to miss my Dad deeply but I will see him again when my time on earth is done. Love you Dad.
