Jo, Jan , Marc and family, We are so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He was always such a "gentle" man. He will be truly missed by all who knew him. Having stayed informed of Ron's struggle over the past year, we are reminded of Paul's words to Timothy, " I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith." It is a fitting tribute to a wonderful husband and father and friend. You are in our thoughts and prayers as we say "good-bye for now" and celebrate a life well lived. Jim & Mary Fields

I am so sorry to read about your loss and the world's loss of a good man. It is a tough road for all concerned but it is a part of life's journey and we must accept it. Jo, if there is anything I can do to help you through this, please don't hesitate to ask. I've been there. Even if you just want to meet for a cup of coffee, I will be there. God bless you through this transition.

Legacy. That's what comes to our minds when we remember Ron – legacy. He had such a positive impact on this world in general and on us in particular. He will forever remain a great role model of what it means to be a Christian man; someone who has accomplished much but remained humble and submitted to his Lord. He was a man of great means yet one would never know it by the way he conducted himself, being a man who interacted easily with people from all levels of social status.
We have known Ron and Jo for some time and have greatly benefited from their ministry, which has always centered around prayer. From prayer teams during revival, to Healing Rooms, to Prayer Warriors (we really miss our 8:30AM Sunday morning prayer times with Ron and Jo), Ron has touched us with his kind words and simple smile. Ron didn't always say a lot during prayer times, but what he did say seemed like golden nuggets from heaven – they really were insightful. His words also tended to be on the side of encouragement – he was an encourager. On more than one occasion during early morning prayer, after everyone went around the room and voiced concern about this negative world event or something going wrong in their personal lives, Ron would chime in with something like "well, but our God is bigger," then the atmosphere in the room would suddenly change from a heavy, negative mood to one of hope and encouragement and confidence that the Lord is still in control.
Ron accomplished much in his life that has had an impact on eternity – a legacy that is worth remembering and modeling in our own lives. He will be missed greatly here upon this earth as he receives his reward for a life surrendered to his King. Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Master.
Lifting Ron's family in prayer,

So sorry to learn of Ron's passing. During the short time I knew him he was always very friendly and truly humble man. Never knew how special he really was. Was my pleasure to serve and wait on him during his time at H-P.
Jo, you and the family will be in my prayers.

Jo, Jan, Marc and family,
I am so very sad to learn that Ron has passed away. He was such a great, strong and gentle human being. He was so competent and caring. He was a wonderful leader in his industry and totally dedicated to his family. He had such love and pride for each of you.
Ron's words were measured and his smile was infectious. He was ever the engineer, getting all the facts before he came to a conclusion. But once at a conclusion, his enthusiasm was delightful.
Marty and I hope that your faith, family, friends and good memories will give you comfort at this time.
You have our deep sympathy.

Jo and family,
We have not had a chance to see you nor tell you how sad we are that Ron has passed on. For all he went through, and the family too, his death was a blessing. He is in a place with no pain and that is good. What a wonderful man was shared with us all, here on Earth. He touched many lives and did so much good. We are still here, across the street for you Jo, and are available whenever you need us to help you or just to talk.
All of your family has our sympathy and blessings.
We have not come over, due to so many people showing up these past two days. We could see you had much support. Perhaps later, we could have a cup of or glass of refreshment together. God bless you all.
