  1. CandleImageIrene, my deepest condolences to you and the extended family that you and Ron brought into this world. Diane and I have shared together many wonderful toy store memories of Ron’s impact on our lives. There have been many!….too many to twelve into Dave this one, toy group of 300 people, our house at Cherrymoor, Ron arrives and seeks Mr out and says, “did you know Kevin was outside asking people for $20 to park their car and I thought you should know.”. I replied”. Did you give him the $20?”. ” I’ll give him the $20, but I’m not going to let him park my car” he replied!…..to those out there who loved Ron, you need to know Kevin was at that a 13 year old special needs “child” and “in his mind, he was trying to collect money for filling his piggy bank to give to an annual charity fund raiser charity he somehow chose to support!….you guessed it, Ron agent back out and handed Kevin a $20. That’s the kind of man Ron Stark was. Side bar: We followed by stopping our son. .(fearful someone might hand him a $20+keys!!!). Irene, we love you, god bless.

  2. Dear Irene:
    I am so sad to learn of Ron’s passing & so sorry for your loss. Ron always brought a smile to my face whenever I would see him at a toy show or when we we happened to bump into each other when on out the road. Please know that I always considered him one of the good guys in the business and that he will be missed.

  3. CandleImageRon, gonna miss you bud! We had some good times at the field. You were always happy to see “The Boys”. I’ll miss all the laughs and crude jokes. I’ll miss texts back and forth about the Broncos! I’ll miss the conversations about Winter Warbirds and how excited you were that we went down to Arizona in January. It’s time to say goodbye for now. May you always have a clear day and a strong tail wind. God speed my friend! Brent

  4. Ron was my nephew…we never lived in each others’ proximity but I also had a sweet spot for him. I am never so thankful that his close family carried for him and that he passed peacefully. This is the highest thing we can pray for bless him on his journey home. I pray RENE and the immediate family Will now find comfort knowing he is not suffering in his physical form.

  5. CandleImageWe are sending so much love to you all. Uncle Ron was so fun and had the biggest heart. God bless. Love Tara and Greg

  6. CandleImageI love you Uncle Ron. I have so many memories of you as a little girl when living in Colorado. One of my favorite memories is being the flower girl in your wedding. I also enjoyed the times I got to spend with you when we were both visiting Montana and most recently sitting next to you in Arizona watching Ricky play baseball. That meant so much to me. You will be missed by many. Rest in piece.

  7. CandleImagePaw, It still isn’t real that you are gone. Please give Billy a huge hug for me up there in Heaven. I know he and your Dad were there to welcome you. I think your Dad was beside you to guide you home when you left us. You saw him and talked to him.
    We will watch out for each other, love each other and make sure Mom is okay. Teresa, Cyndie and I will make sure she is. You should be so proud of her, Paw. She has been so strong. And she kept her promises to you and did every thing the way you wanted it done. She misses you so much.

  8. CandleImageAs we celebrate Ron’s life, we hold onto the memories that bring smiles and tears. Though he is gone, his spirit will forever shine in our hearts.
    Rest peacefully, Ron. You will be missed big brother.
    Love Ed Guffey & Dede McLaughlin
