Ron's Funeral Began Today

There were so many people at Ron's visitation tonight. Ron talked about how many people were at his father's visitation - I think he'd be surprised how many were at his. Many people from his work were there - Barb said from departments all over the building. She said that she spent quite a bit of time laughing, because everyone shared a memory of Ron - and his famous cornball jokes. I met many people that are Joe's distant relatives, friends of Ron, and even the lady who lived across the street from Joe and Ron when they were young boys. I met a woman who worked with Ron who talked to me about several e-mail exchanges they'd had relating to Barb and hoola hoops. We talked about Ron's thimble collection. All people who said that Ron would be sadly missed - and that he had provided them with laughter and joy during their days of being around him.
Ron left a legacy of smiles, and warm thoughts, and caring for others - enough to give the a little bit of Ron sunshine each time he saw them.
We'll miss you, Ron.
