So many wonderful memories of Ron, his deep faith and commitment to his family. Peace to his memory. Rev. Brian & Charmaine Kyle
I worked with Ron for many years at Howmet/Alcoa. What a nice guy. I am praying for his family.
Ron was one of the people at worked everybody liked. Ron worked very long hours, but still managed to keep a great sense of humor and jab, sarcastically, at the supervisors on the shop floor (we would give him some heck too). Ron not only made the company picnics fun, but also lightened up the normal workday. I feel honored to have known him, and pray for his family during these tough time.
My wife and I were so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Memories of playing with my VanderKooi cousins on our farm on Sullivan Road when we were kids always bring a smile to my face. We are praying that you all would know God's peace, comfort, and love in the difficult times ahead. --Vern and Mary Schutter

I hope that the memories you've made with him over the years help you thru this difficult time. My thoughts & prayers are with you. Kimberly Smith

I still remember the day you were married ,Linda got to ride in the limo and I had to stay at the reception I was so upset Ron and you were so young.
Sorry to hear about the passing of Ron. He and Don were childhood friends. I have many fond memories of times we spent together. My prayers are with your family.
