He was a good man, kind and gentle, always considerate of others,
wanting to know how they had been and what they were up to.
He would inquire if there was anything he could do to help out.
He was happy when things were going well for others and
very encouraging to those who had a struggle.
He had a genuine concern and there was nothing phony about him.
He had his beliefs and was faithful to them,
not one to go astray for a selfish reason.
He was a true gentleman and was always on
the lookout for others, helping them in many ways
including the most important, the spiritual way.
You did not always know he was around because he was quiet.
He always wanted to do more than was necessary.
People liked the way he treated them.
Everyone was a soul, a child of God, and
deserved his best which he gave willingly.
He could think, analyze, laugh and I am sure cry.
He showed up when it was his turn to volunteer with Carolyn
and always had good suggestions on how to improve things.
We were moon brothers, both being born on July 13 as was my Grandson
There came the time when age caught up and
he could not continue with his regular schedule.
He had a home to take care of, a wife who needed his help
and Ron had a church and was committed to it.
His neighbors liked him and he would help them if they needed him.
He was not boastful but was proud and thankful for his accomplishments.
He was a jewel and the Master Jeweler needed him for a crown,
a flower that the Gardner had to gather home to make a bouquet.
He was a lovely person who bore his cross, silently and with dignity.
He will be missed by those who knew him, but remembered with the hope
that we will meet again in the Kingdom. A good lamb, he will be waiting
for his missing sheep, while helping the Good Shepherd.
We will also be waiting, but being human will not be in too much of a hurry.
