Connie,Deb,Ron,Tim,Eric and families,
I was so saddened to hear of Ron's passing. He was such a good friend of my grandparents, I have known him my entire life. He and your family have always been like extended family. He was always so supportive during difficult family times as well as during the good times. He was such an active member of his church and of the community, he selflessly gave of himself and his time to make our city a better place. Hillsboro has lost a true friend. You have my deepest sympathy at this difficult time. Rest assured that he is now in a much better place. I am sure that he and my grandpa Charlie McCreight are together and joking around already.
