Ron was a light that came into my aunt's life at a time when she needed to be loved and he filled her heart with so much of it. Brought her two wonderful children and was a great father to her other daughter as well. Aunt Sue, Kylie, Joey and Heather - my heart goes out to you during this time of great sadness in the hopes that the love and memories will fill your hearts now and forever more...
