Hi Sherry and Family
I was so shocked and sadden to hear of the passing of Ron. We became acquainted as classmates at West Side Batesville School in the 7th grade and graduated together from Batesville High School in 1959. It was always enjoyable to visit with Ron at our Class Reunions and also picking fruit at his Berry Patch, of which, he was so very proud. I know he spent many long hours growing his fruit.
We are blessed for having known Ron.
May God bless you and your family and help you to adjust to your loss.
Sincerely
Ronny and Judy Brown.

To the Williams family: I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He and I were in the 1959 graduating class of BHS. Fortunately, I was able to visit with him a bit at our reunion of a couple of years ago. He was so funny and lively and everyone enjoyed his presence. I hope that your many good memories will help you through this sad time.

What words can I say to comfort a broken heart that has suffered such a loss. Ron's smile in the attached picture speaks volumes. In one glance you see the compassion, joy, and love he offered many along with his friendship. Sherry, I'm truly sorry I was never able to meet this amazing man, but know I send love and prayers. May God hold you in His loving arms and rain down His grace and blessings that you may find peace.

Although I never met your dad, I have you for a friend and lost my own daddy in 1994 when he was only 57. There is something about the
father/daughter connection for sure. Sending love and prayers to Rhonda and family. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so very sorry to hear this . My parents knew Ron for many years and I got to know him at the "berry patch" . We spent hours talking about everything from sports , philosophy , to the history in Bethesda . I felt like I knew his family --just from his stories . My thoughts and prayers are with you . God bless and be with all of you and may you find comfort in God's amazing grace ..

He was a gentleman who I enjoyed knowing at school. He always had a big smile and a wonderful personality. The world is a sadder place without his big smile and heart. The photo is perfect of him. I am so sorry, Rhonda.
