Uncle Ronnie of Arabia.   He was a big part of my childhood and always there to help.  He will be missed, but he has provided some great memories which will stay with Karen and I forever.

I was so lucky to find Ron. In the short time that I knew him he helped me to get to know my Dad (his brother). I loved his stories about all of his family & I could have listened to him forever. He was such a positive, honest, caring man & I will really miss him.
