I really miss Dad, it was great to be able to work with him on job sites after he retired from Ford. I also always look back fondly at the time he always devoted to us children. Cottages, fishing, fixing bikes, volunteering at the parish festival. So much more that it would fill pages. I love you and am happy you were able to live independently and also that you are now happy with mom and Jesus in Heaven. Joe

To Ron and Jackie's Family,  Please accept our deepest sympathy at this time of your great loss.
We were neighbors of Ron and Jackie in Redford and were active with them at St. Sabina.  I drove Joey, Eddie and Terri to St. Sabina School every day along with others in the neighborhood until they moved to Livonia.  Joey and Eddie were great friends of my son, Robbie.  We kept in touch with Ron and know how much he loved and missed Jackie.  So terribly saddened to learn of his passing but know he is now at peace with His Savior and his beloved Jackie.  
                                       Sincerely, Ray & Marlene Vincent

Joe, Ed, Teri, Kathy, Mary, Ann and Danny,
 I am really saddened to hear about Uncle Ron.  I always looked forward to visiting with him--he always had some entertaining stories about the family!  All of you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers and I hope you can find some comfort in all of the wonderful memories you have of him.  I feel awful not being able to attend the funeral service but I had to work Saturday night and today at the hospital.   Hugs and prayers to all of you. Karen 

To Ron's family:  thank you for sharing all your beautiful photos and memories with me.  I worked with Ron at Ford and know what a wonderful, decent man he was.  Never took a short cut.  Always did things properly.  Always dependable.  Always organised.  

And looking at these photos, it seems that he was the same when it came to his family.  You were lucky to have him as your father, and I was lucky to have him as a work colleague.  Rest in Peace Ron.   

Their last earthly dance together, now they’re dancing in heaven ! 

My dad.  I will never ever forget how much he did for us.  It was always the little things like drive in movies, sledding, pancake breakfasts on Saturday mornings.  He did all those things because he wanted to give our mom a break and he wanted to have some personal time with his kids. Not to mention how much influence he had on our faith and molding us to be caring, loving, independent adults.  Never ever let us opt for the easy way but encouraged us to always accomplish things the best way..even if it took longer and we grumbled the entire time.  I will cherish those memories. I can only hope to be half the parent he was to us.  

I have a lot of positive memories growing up in my family. My dad frequently took us kids to a local park in the winter for sledding.  He often made pancakes in the shape of our initials on Saturday mornings. He took us on family vacations to a cabin on a lake "up north" each year for summer vacation.  I remember him sneaking us into a drive-in movie by covering us with blankets on the floor board of the car. His dedication as a father was certainly felt in our family. Thank you, dad, for all your hard work.

Ron and I worked together at Uniroyal in Mishawaka, Indiana and later at Ford Motor Design Center in Dearborn.   He was a valuable member of the Ford team and became expert in the field of color technology. 

Ron was my cousin. Even though I am 13 years younger, he was my hero growing up. I remember as a child that he gave me a ride on his bicycle and I sat in the basket. That was a big deal because he was a newspaper boy.   He always had a smile on his face and good stories to share and I always looked forward to seeing him at his mom’s ( my aunt’s) house.  He will be missed. Prayers to all of you.
