Because of my brother Dick, I don't remember a time in my life that you were not a part of it! You always had a smile , a song and a laugh to share that I am proud to have shared with you!
I will always remember the Horseman, the Pub and the Rock and Roll Reunions at the fair ..we danced and danced!
There was also the Summer I worked for Mid-Day Painting with you and Joe working on houses in Sherman Hills! Work at 10:00 - off at 3:00!

I'm so sorry to hear Ron passed away. I've known him since 1968. He was one of the nicest men I've known. His selfless devotion to the people he drove around and his concern about them is what made him so special. Please accept my condolences.

Ron was the custodian at Jordan Creek when my daughters were there and he was such a kind man. He had a smile for all the kids - and their parents. I'm sure he will be missed greatly. My heart goes out to his family and friends! May the memories of his giving spirit bring you peace.

I played with you when we were young we fought and argued more than we should but we were different. You gave my son and I a place to stay for that I was grateful each and everyday. We had our talks and I know your life was not full you lack 1 thing a child but treated mine as your own and I'm glad I was able to help you in someway with that. Rejoice with mom dad Doug Smith and all your friends up there. I loved you with all my heart start dancing, keep singing for the love you had is all around you now. R.I.P. I am proud you were my brother!

Ronnie was ornery, funny, and a corker like his entire family. He was like a brother to me. He always could get me to smile as he did have a very contagious smile. The Fox family were my second family. Rest in Peace and you are now with friends that have since left this world. You can now share the joy with them and your wonderful parents.
