Meet Ron

Tough as nails, with a grin to match

Ron is one of the toughest, funniest, most stubborn-in-the-best-way guys you will ever meet.

"I got this!! Keep the prayers coming."

Two cancer battles won. A 10-day hospital stay in early October. Then, on October 20, emergency triple bypass and heart valve replacement surgery. Ron is recovering in the hospital now, and through all of it he, Tricia and the whole family have kept their faith and their humor.
