Ron's Life

Ron was the love of my life and will always be the love of my life.  He was my best friend and a wonderful husband and father.

We married on July 28, 1975 and started a wonderful life together for 42 (almost 43) years.  

He was my mentor through life and encouraged me to achieve all that I have done.  When I was working full time with 2 little kids he encouraged me to go back to school and I took classes 6 days a week to get my degree.  He was Mom and Dad for 18 months and encouraged me to reach my goal.

He was a great father who coached little league and soccer for his son, Dan.  He was there for Amanda in all her skating endeavors.  He was my rock when Amanda passed away in 2006 at the age of 24.

But his health was declining.  He lost 1 leg to diabetes and 10 years later lost the 2nd leg.  He was wheel chair bound since 2010.  Then he had to go on dialysis because his kidneys were failing and he was doing that for over 2 years.  His mind was sharp but his body was sick.

He fought a hard battle and even though he didn't want to leave us, God had different plans.  I think he saw how much he was suffering and decided to end that suffering.  My heart is broken.  I lost the love of my life and my best friend.  I take comfort that he is not suffering anymore and until we meet again I say Goodnight, my love.  You will always be in my heart.

Love Forevah and evah,

Pat
