One of the best memories we have is when we had just built our house and we needed some trees and Ron was so nice to let's come up to their farm and get some. Ron went through and tagged some of the best trees and told us which ones grew tall and which one dropped branches and so forth. So we got 3 maples , an apple and a ash those trees still grow today and are big a doing great!! Every time we look at those trees we think of you.

Dad, One of my best memories of you is when we were eating dinner at the Ponderosa. Somehow there was a mixup and the slip with our steak order never made it back to the kitchen staff. You and I sat there eating from the buffet and chatting, wondering what was taking so long. Finally, a manager came over and asked if everything was okay. I guess he was wondering if we were ever going to leave? You said patiently, we are waiting for our dinner. The manager looked shocked and quickly walked away. A few minutes later, our steaks appeared with a very apologetic manager. You weren't angry or impatient. You dismissed his apology with grace. I learned a lot from you in this encounter. Patience and Respect. You didn't scream or throw a temper tantrum or even so much as say "We're in a hurry here!" Because of course, we weren't in a hurry. I don't think you were ever in a hurry :) You took your time and as a result, you never missed the little things that so many of us don't take the time to see. I'm going to try to remember to slow down Dad.

I remember being disappointed when I first met Ron, as my sister told me he was Native American. He didn’t show up in leather and feathers! Ron became a mentor to me for all things outdoors, tree identification, edible plants and eventually, hunting. He taught me to shoot a bow. As the years past, we saw less of each other, but when we did meet up, the conversation seemed to pick right up where we left off, either gardening, woodland adventures or, of course -trees. I think I’ll have to plant one more in his memory.
