Just a few photos from our favorite memories
Alaina’s favorite memory of Grampy is making snickerdoodle cookies without cinnamon for her and putting a special ingredient in it just for her and he was always there for her when she needed him most.
We lost a very special person this past week. He was often (not always 🤣) a man of few words, but that didn’t mean we didn’t hear each other.
Dad could be the most stoic man in the room, but could also be the most silly and fun as well.
Things are tough right now, trying to understand the who, what, where, when, why…. I get that from my dad. Always looking for the answer, logical to a fault sometimes. God just needed him more than we do right now, and who am I to argue…. One of the most important lessons I learned in life was from my dad, and it was so simple, yet so needed during a very tough period: FROG “Fully rely on God”. Sometimes it’s the simple things you need reminding of, and those are the things that pull you through. So right now dad, :frog:
I got my love of sci-if and fantasy literature (really simply reading!) from you Dad. He shared with me his copy of the Hobbit when I was still in elementary school, and I’ve been hooked since.
We’ll take good care of Mom. Maybe not as good as you, but we’ll try like hell. And occasionally we’ll throw her an “Oh, Karen!” For old time sake. 🙂
Dad, I love you.
(“Mmmm-hmmm, k. Buh- bye”)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Until we meet again. Save me another dance!!
Allie’s favorite thing about Grampy were his hugs ♥️
Nick’s favorite memory of Grampy is when he and Grammy came to his school for Grandparent’s Day and had lunch with him and spending Christmas with him.
Ron made the best snickerdoodle cookies. His grandchildren were the light of his life. A few of my favorite memories included him driving me to the hospital to have Allison, holding and singing to Allie as a baby, getting ready with Nicholas for Jackie’s wedding, dancing with Krissi at Jackie’s wedding, and him letting Allie put stickers all over him while they were here for dinner last week. Ron was full of wisdom. Any time Justin wanted advice, his dad would be the one he would call. I remember calling him once when Justin hurt his toe pretty badly to make sure Justin wasn’t being stubborn and didn’t need to go to the doctor. Ron once drove to our house and picked me and Nick up to take us to the after hours doctors because Nick was sick. Ron was there for his family when they needed him. Now we must do the hard part of figuring out what our new normal will look like. We know he is always with us and will be watching over us all. We will miss you. Your grandchildren will miss you immensely. Rest in Peace. Gone too soon.
