Will miss our story sharing and long-time friendship but especially Ron's good-natured ribbing. We shared numerous Cooper trips and I think about those to Florida, deep sea fishing. I don't recall who got the bigger fish.

Lee Family,

Please accept our sincere condolences.

Ron was one of those very special people who never knew a stranger and was always a joy to be around. He was a good neighbor, an intense Euchre player and always had a good story or two to share.

Ron was a true Arlingtonian and will be missed by more than just a few people who knew him.

Sincerely - Greg and Vickie Snyder
