Our heartfelt condolences to Monica and the others of Ron’s family. The Villegoureix-Ritaud family has over 20 years of fond memories of Ron as a neighbor and friend. May he rest in peace. Sincerely, Patrick and Phyllis
Ronnie : The ultimate caring, intelligent, and fun loving gentleman. When you were around Ronnie you knew how much he cared about you and how much he loved to laugh. Dennis has known Ronnie for 57 years. They started working in the CIA mail room together and became best friends. That friendship lasted until he passed. Ronnie loved his cars and he and Dennis took many trips to Carlisle. Upon leaving Carlisle he always had to stop and get a pie. When Dennis found his 64 Belair that he had been looking for for years he called Ronnie. Ronnie said I guess it is time for a road trip and off they went to North Carolina. We have had years of fun, trips,(Dirty Monkeys in Aruba) dinners, picnics, horse races, birthday celebrations and always Christmas parties together. Thanks for the memories Ronnie. We will miss you. Love Dennis and Sue.
I remember so many sweet things about my uncle Ron! One time in particular was when he baby sat us while our Mom went to play Bingo! We had this crazy dog and we were out in our yard and we asked Uncle Ron if he wanted to see something funny! So he said yes of course! So my brother threw a rock in the woods and the dog would bring back a turtle ! Uncle Ron was amazed and asked how many times would she do this! We told him until we run out of rocks! So we preceded to throw more rocks and she brought back more turtles ! Big ones , medium size ones and even baby ones! He was laughing so hard! Then he asked us what we were going to do with all those turtle’s we told him that we would just put them in the tool shed until morning! So the next morning our Mom was asking us if we were good for Uncle Ron and what did we do? And we told her that we showed him how the dog would fetch turtles for us! She asked us what we did with the turtles and we said that there in the tool shed! Well she yelled at us and made us get up from the breakfast table to go let the turtles out! There had to have been 30 of them!!! I will never forget this story and I will never forget about how hard our Uncle Ron laughed! Priceless!❤️?????????????????????
I was so sorry to hear of Ron’s Passing. He was truly one of the best people I have ever known. He was not only a mentor but a friend. I owe much of my success to him. I know he will be greatly missed. I am sorry that I can not be there in person to pay my respect. I wish Monica and his family the best. Mike Vida
Uncle Ronnie. I sure will miss you. Love you! RIP …. until we meet again…. your favorite nephew, Michael…
I remember many wonderful things about my Uncle Ronnie, but the one thing I remember the most is that he was always the kindest, most caring person. Very much like his Dad my grandfather. He loved Monica and his family. He was so much fun to be around. We will all miss him tremendously. Until we see you again. Love you, your niece Robin.
