I am so sorry to hear this. God bless you my sister. Ron was very special to me, as you know. I will miss his hugs and “Hey kid,” on Sunday mornings. He was lovely to me, always.

Haeja and Family,

So very saddened by your family’s loss. Praying for peace, strength, and comfort through this difficult time. As you so wisely said, every day together is a gift. Remember those wonderful gifts of Ron’s joy in the simple things in life – a glass of red wine, a Caribou coffee drink, a bite of lobster tail. He loved you and your devotion dearly. Peace to you and yours, my dear friend!
Love,
Sue Chan

Condolence from Jan Henderson on July 5th, 2015 3:22 pm

Dear Haeja and Family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Ron was a sweet man. I always enjoyed his sense of humor. He fought a very long and difficult battle with multiple illnesses. He always tried so hard to get better and always had a smile and a can do attitude through it all. He was a kind and caring person and I will miss him. It is a blessing that he is no longer suffering. God bless you through this difficult time. Love and prayers, your friend Jan

Condolence from Edward Vigilante, Jr. on July 6th, 2015 10:03 am

Sorry to hear Ron has left us . We will miss him a lot. I always had some interesting discussions about various airline and military subjects, and he always had a way to make me look at both sides of an issue. It was good when he was able to attend bible study with us, he didn’t usually say much , but we could see he enjoyed the class, and we liked having fellowship with him, and as military veterans we thank him for his service in Korea, God Bless Ron and his wonderful wife Haeja, and family.

Condolence from Mary Barthel on July 6th, 2015 10:39 am

Dear Haeja,

May God grant you and your family the peace that surpasses all understanding. I so admire you Haeja for the devoted and loving wife you were to Ron and I am sure he was very grateful. I’m glad that he no longer has to suffer and to know that he is in the presence of our heavenly father. Mary
