Dear Gail and Family, we are so sadden of your loss and ours too. mom (Wanda) says Ronald was like a son to him as he was around 7 years old when she married his oldest brother, Lewis Jr. He was a Great Uncle as well. He was always there for his brothers and family, when ever asked of something. He adored his daughter so much, that at one time he rode around with his daughters name on his vehicle "Kelly" We hope today he is with all the Great Bells that had to leave this World, some way to early, including him, and is in a better place. We will always remember him and Love him.
Love, Nephew Steve and Sister n Law Wanda.

On behalf of myself and my parents, Bill and Mary Naratil, we offer our most sincere condolences. He was such a patient and friendly man and will be greatly missed. I know my dad enjoyed working with Ron for many, many years at the high school and I was lucky enough to see him almost daily when I started with the district. He would always ask how my parents were doing and always had a smile on his face. I will remember that smile. May your memories of him bring you comfort.
Joy and Lester Snyder, Sr.
