Ron was a dear friend to me.He always brought me lunch ,brought my kid to work, helped me out in any way he could. Every spring we went to countryside to get flowers together...pretty sure it was torture for him, but he went anyways :) He will be deeply missed .
Ron was one of the nicest people I've ever met. He was always so caring and full of joy. Always all smiles when he would come into Speedway. I will truly miss seeing him and talking to him. He will be greatly missed and always remembered.
So sorry,Ron was such a funny & carrying guy, I remember the first time I ever met him, it was at Pin Crest & it was his birthday (years ago) I had no idea who he was, but Geno said it was his birthday So I told him Happy Birthday & he gave me a big ol kiss right on the lips. Also remember the great Christmas Parties him & Deb threw every year Even tho I haven't seen much of him the last few years, I will miss seeing him at Orchard Mkt.Phyllis Debard
Loved Ron very much. One of my favorite people . I will miss him . I am sorry for Steve, Terri and all of his family.
Terri/Steve,
Your Dad was a great guy and a good friend! I wish you all my best during this time of sorrow. Thinking back to when we fished together, I have fond memories of us catching salmon and one time getting lost in the fog on Lake Michigan without a compass. Your Dad wasn't worried at all. He was happy just to float around until the fog lifted. I also have fond memories of grilling steaks on Sunday afternoons when you were both little.

Ron was a super nice fun loving man. My favorite memory is when we played softball for his Shirts Plus store. He will be missed by all who knew him. Love to you Teri and family... Tamara Yonkers.
What a happy, joyful man! It was always a pleasure to run into Mr. McBride around the village. He always had a smile, and would stop to talk. He will be remembered fondly. God bless you.
I remember trying his "Christmas pickles" for the first time and asking him for the recipe. The next day when I got home from work, sitting on my kitchen counter, was the recipe and all of the ingredients to make my own!
Another time, he had found some fresh cherries at one of those Roadside fruit stands and bought a bag to share with everyone. We all loved them and asked where he had gotten them. He supposedly didn't remember. Oddly enough, the next day, here comes Ron with a bag of cherries for us.
He always gave more than he took and loved seeing others happy and would do anything for anyone. I will always remember him for his generousity, unselfishness, and incredible sense of humor. That man could make us laugh until we cried, and did, on many, many occasions.
Thank you Teri and Steve for sharing your dad with us. Craig and I have been blessed to have him in our lives for as long as we did.
Rest peacfully, dear friend, you are loved and will forever be missed. Craig & Gerri
