My sincere sympathy to Ron’s family. I had the pleasure of working with him on Mondays at Meals on Wheels. He was such a positive person and we all enjoyed his company while we waited for the driver. We will miss him and his sense of humor.

I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Ron’s blue classic pickup truck w/California license plate and his fondness of sourdough bread immediately come to mind. He was a respected leader at Kellogg’s, a team player, and a truly genuine stand up guy.

Dear Julie and family,I was saddened to hear of Ron’s passing. I only met him once, but seeing how you two were together and knowing that he had the love and respect of so many friends, is a tribute to who he was. When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes your treasure. Love to you and your family.

Our sincere condolences to Julie and the Delk family. We got to know Ron as a neighbor while living in the
Four Seasons community. He was such a friendly and pleasant man to talk to. I will never forget the time,
my husband and I were out for a walk in the community and a storm suddenly came up. We ran into Ron’s
garage, because that was the only shelter we could find. When he saw us there, he insisted that we come
into his house and he introduced us to his wife Julie. He was a genuinely good person and he will certainly
be missed in the Four Seasons community.
Sincerely,
Fran & Vinny Garguilo
