Good-by Ron, Ron was my best friend. I've known Ron for nearly two decades and was the most sharing and generous friend I've ever had. Ron was always there for me when I was in need. I'm twice the size of Ron but his heart was so much bigger than mine. I could write for hours telling you the good times I had sitting with Ron in his backroom den, but my hands can't type that long. Good by Ron, Love you man. I'll see you down the road my buddy. Ron Gathman
Ron was my husband's best friend. Until I actually met Ron and Margaret I think they both thought I was imaginary! It didn't take me long to realize how special his friendship was to my husband and then Margaret became my best friend. Now we must remember all of the good times and memories we shared and know how truly wonderful it was to have such a friend and count ourselves lucky to have had him at all. He will be truly missed. We loved him so and that will continue on with Margaret as she moves forward. Love always, Ron and Jana Gathman
