Please accept our sincere condolences in the passing of Ronald J. Sr. I could go on and on about the good times he and I had in the early years growing up in the Savin Rock era. and the years after when he was in the Navy, and later in the Air Force. He was always a good friend and always had a smile when he greeted you. He will be one of the most unforgettable characters who touched all our lives in his special way. Ron, safe travels on your final journey.
