Sorry for your loss
from: Ed Szklaszon: 03-07-2026

To Ron's family and Gail, his wonderful companion, I was shocked to read about the passing of my dear friend and neighbor Ron. He was an amazing neighbor and helped me in so many ways. He used to hold my ladder when I was trimming my tall hedge in the backyard and did so many other things when he saw me outside. I will miss his smile, his friendly demeanor and his advice. He was a gentleman through and through. May he rest in peace because that is what he brought to this world.
