Ruth, please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. Ron was an amazing man that impacted people all around the world. He has left a lasting legacy here on the Ford Barn, and also in the hearts and minds of everyone that Ron touched in some way.


We grieve with you in our mutual loss, but we also rejoice, because our hearts are full with memories of Ron.


Godspeed Ol' Ron! I will look for you one day on the other side!


Steve

The role of a caregiver is difficult at best, but at the end can weigh heavily on the soul. God Bless for your presence there with "gramps" I'm confident he was well cared for and at peace.

Ron was valued member of the Ford V8 community and will be sorely missed.
May he rest in peace.

Thank you, Ruth - I am taking care of my 101 year old Dad now - so far so good but I can see him fading slow but sure. You are the angel on earth guiding him home …..

My 101 year old Mother in Law lives with us. She has slowed a little on her chores, needs to rest while when sweeping the hardwood floors. We finally got her to stop taking the dirty dishes out of the dishwasher and washing them by hand. Relatively clear headed, forgets things that just happened. That's already happening to me to hear my wife tell it. In fact I search questions every so often and find I've already asked it. I miss Ron's comments too. I have fixed a few old car things in my day but really can't remember the details like Ron and a lot on here. Thanks Ron and all who contribute.
