I will miss the "Holy Mackerel There Andy".... His always caring of others - no matter the distance. Such an awesome example of what a man should be - his love of his family and friends will forever be cherished by many. My love to Aunt Henriette, Ninon, Noelle, Nicole and Richard

My uncle Ron was a wonderful human being.  Funny at times, I remember one occasion when we were in Florida, where he lost his glasses in the ocean, couldn't see to drive home and no one else could drive.  He got his gas mask and wore it home, we did get some funny looks on the way, and laughed a lot.  I will miss him for the rest of my life.

We met Ron when our son Alex become friends with his oldest grandson Austin, about 25 years ago.  One thing was apparent from the very beginning of our friendship: family was everything to Ron.  His heart was full of love for his family and he loved each and everyone of them.  We treasured his friendship and were fortunate to have known him.  Our condolences to Henriette and family.

Ronald était un grand Monsieur, d'une générosité incomparable, au caractère affirmé et très protecteur des siens. C'était mon Oncle d'Amérique! Chacune de ses visites en France et nous aux US était un moment joyeux où il aimait partager ces instants fugaces avec les petits frenchies. Un dimanche chez nous à Paris avec Erwan sur ses genoux et le dîner à Barbizon fut mémorable! Vive Ron !

Arnaud & Géraldine.
