We remember Ron as one of the first people we met when we moved to Poplar Drive. From his trips up the mountain 'so Keiser could visit', to him and Donald dragging a giant stump down the road with his 'toy' truck; Ron will be sorely missed. He had a heart as big as this mountain and was always ready to lend a friend a hand. His family is in our thoughts and prayers.
