Such a tragic loss to the community. Ronald would walk everyday in Hunts Point when I was living there or visiting with my parents. My father and I would see Ron back in the woods driving on his atv with his best friend Harvie. Ron was an outstanding citizen of Queens with Sharon.
I will miss the talks in the woods and on the road. He will be always remembered in my thoughts forever. My deepest condolences Sharon, Marsha and Michelle.
Your husband, father was an outstanding man in my books. He will be missed.

My dear Sharon and family – So sorry to hear that Ron passed away! The last time I saw him, he was in the emergency room at the Queens General and you and Judy were at his bedside. That was a long time ago, so I guess he did pretty well. I feel badly for you, Sharon, as I know how much he meant to you. Please know that you are in my thoughts.
