To Ron's family, You are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. I worked with Ron at Grandville schools and I could always depend on Ron when we needed custodial help at the schools. Always a positive attitude, friendly and could adapt to any situation. A Great guy.!! I especially enjoyed his sense of humor and his stories about his family camping or just the time shared with his grandchildren. He loved retirement with his family and golf. He told me when I retired and had more time we would get together and play golf. too. Sadly I recently retired but I will not be able to look forward to that round of golf with him. God Bless You Tim Smith
