We live near Ron (and Judy) and enjoyed our conversations while walking and the occasional happy hour. Ron was such a kind man. After one of his strokes, he took up wood working and created beautiful planters. I admired him as he never gave up. We know he is in good hands in heaven.
I miss Uncle Ron already. Seeing him and Judy on visits home was always a highlight. He was such a good man.
Mr. Tobias was my typing teacher in middle school. Plus, we worked together at Eau Claire Teacher’s Credit Union for a school year. He was so kind, loved to tell stories and loved his cycle rides with his bride. You could tell that he loved his family by his stories. Rest in Peace Mr. Tobias! My heart goes out to his family.
