Please accept our deepest condolences. I remember working at Pepis pizza beside the gulf station for years. Ron was always quick with a smart remark, or quick whit sense of humour. It was always a comfort working late nights by myself and knowing Ron was right next door.
May Clara greet him in heaven.
