Ron Kessen - R.I.P.

Joe's brother Ron was found dead on Wednesday. He was 55 years old. He had a big heart, loved animals, beer, and the Bengals. He had a dry wit. I remember when I first met him he asked me what my intentions were with his brother. I was so taken aback I was speechless. We laughed about it later. When Joe had the accident with the cue stick, Ron came to the hospital to be with me, and to help me understand all the medical jargon.
When Joe's dad turned 55 he was so certain that he would die soon - he said Kessen men never make it past 55. He made it to 63. Ron didn't.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen.
