So sorry for your loss. Ron was a great guy. I have a black and white photo taken by Ron in my Bible. It was taken as I was being baptized in Lake Lester during Warner Camp Meeting back in 1987. Pastor John Miller not only baptized me that day, he also baptized his future wife! I was saved in March of ’87 but wanted to be baptized during camp meeting after witnessing the same activity the year before.
I’ve cherished that photo for 36 years.
Thank you Ron!

Words seem inadequate. Ron was simply an amazing guy. When I first met him, he shared with me his experience in Singapore. He and his family invited me to their Thanksgiving and treated me like their own. Thank you for being amazing and proving wisdom in my life. Ron, you are the best. With a heavy heart, I send my sincere condolences to you and your family.
