Don Mierendorf wrote a sympathy message

“Ron was a fine Christian man and leader, whose love for the Lord was infectious. He was a mentor to me pastorally and business-wise, as he was to so many others. Now his work for the Lord and the Church is ended--may he quickly see the face of Jesus.”

Tony Redente wrote a sympathy message

““Well done good and faithful servant.” I believe that these are the words that our dear brother, Ron, has heard when he completed his transition from his earthly existence to his new eternal life with Jesus his savior. Ron graciously lived out the two great commandments of loving God and loving neighbor. He did so with kindness, gentleness, and humility. His example was a beacon for me. I am proud to be counted among his many friends. With a mixture of sadness and rejoicing., Tony Redente.”
