Ron,
You were truly a great man. You will be missed by many. Thank you for being a wonderful Grandfather to Nikki and I as well as a wonderful Great Grandfather to her children. Although our time together was brief, just know you touched my heart in that small amount of time. I take great pride in calling you family.
