Condolences to the Family

Pam and Family,
Unfortunately, My travels will not permit me to attend the memorial service for Ron on October 1. But I did want to convey to you my sympathy and condolences. When my family moved to Millersville in the mid-1950s, Ron was one the first people who befriended me. We enjoyed many days together playing basketball on the Ament driveway, watching cars being repaired at the Ament garage and walking back and forth to school. He was a great guy. On behalf of a grateful nation, I also send my appreciation for his service in our military during a particularly difficult era.

To my brother, I will miss you terribly. You were a good guy. May you rest in peace.
