Marsha:I remember the first time I met Ron. I always felt that you and he were the happiest people. I think I was 17 at the time… And your love for each other lasted a lifetime. I am happy you met and loved. Anyway, I was so sorry to hear of Ron's passing and want to let you know that I am praying for you and your family very much. I love you!Pam Grants Pass, OR US
Ron and Marsha — what special people. Dale and I always felt so welcome in their home; no problem that we just dropped in unexpectedly — the talk and wine were ever flowing. My Dale passed away in 2001. The last time Ron and I talked he said "I really miss Dale". It's nice to know they can visit once again. Both Ron and Marsha always a very special part of our family. Things were even more fun and memorable when they could join in our gatherings. We'll not forget those times, Ron. They are what makes for memories; so, THANKS RON, FOR THE MEMORIES! Gilbert, AZ US

As a kid, I remember Marsha coming over one day andtelling my folks Dale & Joan Roney that she had met agreat guy, and that she thinks he's serious. A few dayslater she brought Ron over. My first impression of Ronwas that he sure laughs hard. I took him for anythingbut serious.I remember Mom and Dad, and Ron and Marsha laughing sohard together, they would rock in their seats as theystruggled for composure. This was Ron's first visit.He was so unpretentious, so genuine. Of course, as akid, I did not have those concepts. I just knew therewas something special about Ron. Tolono, IL US

I remember Ron as being one of the biggest fans of the Jerry Morville All-Stars and being proud to watch his grandson, Kyle, play. He was at most of the games and he and Marsha even went to the national tournaments out of state. I am thankful for his friendship and support to my father and mother during my father's illness and death. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, including Marsha, Pat, Julie, Kyle and Morgan.
