We SO enjoyed Ron’s stories by the pool in Puerto Vallarta! His smile and welcoming conversations were a joy! His kindness to our parents will always be fondly remembered.
His float in the fountain pool will be sorely missed and we will always remember that as ‘his’ place. Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time, Miss Mary. Hoping to see you in Mexico. Much love, Mike & Cathy
