It has been one year you are gone from us. I was at a store and there was a man standing there, and when I looked at him he looked just like you! from his eyes to his nose and mustache. I was in shock! I looked with disbelief? It was as if you where right there next to me. we started to talk and his voice I swear sounded just like you Dad. If any one could have seen this man they would have not be leaved it! his words where words you used. He walked with a slow steady pace like you, and be fore he left he said he was going to go gamble at one of the casinos. I swear I was seeing you again and talking with you one last time. It was unreal! but when I left I thank god for I felt as if your angel was watching over me. I love you and miss you so very much!

Dad its hard to be leave your gone and time has past so fast. I still tear up thinking of you. I miss you so very much! Love, your little girl.

Til we meet again!??

Sheryl I am sorry for your loss. Ron will be greatly missed but we will all reunite in Heaven. God Bless! We met many years ago through Raquel. Take care my friend.

Ron became my father-in-law in 1978 when I returned from a tour in Germany while in the Army.  He didn't like me then and I had 2 strikes against me, (1) I wasn't NAVY, and (2) I was there to take his daughter away from him.  I soon realized how much family meant to him. 
   Ron was a virtuous man, believed in the old family values of working hard, providing for family, and treating others the way he would like to be treated.  He gained the respect and admiration of not only family and friends but of co-workers and clients as well.
     He possessed a special gift of communicating with others and his charisma was almost hypnotic.  When you met him you automatically liked him.  He was personable, candid, and quick witted which with these qualities assured him success in  salesmanship. He took me on his route one time to sell coffee to a Bar out in the sticks in Iowa.  What a challenge I thought.  But when Ron got through with his meeting, he had sold every blend of coffee they carried, to a BAR, whose owner DIDN'T EVEN DRINK COFFEE! I thought that was pretty amazing. "One satisfied customer will bring you five more" he would say. And so it was!
  He was very successful until tragedy struck and he lost his wife at the time.  He went through a period of grief and confusion but decided to take a chance and move to California. There he met the love of his life and the best thing that ever happened to him. Sheryl and her family gave him happiness and purpose and re-ignited the drive in him.  Ron and Sheryl pooled their resources and started Pacific Tank Services. The company is and will be a successfully family owned business. This is his legacy.  
     I am proud to say that this kind, generous man is and will always be my friend in this life and after.  
     Ron once told me, "Nothing lasts forever, so live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the bull---, take chances, & never have regrets, because at one point, everything you did was exactly what you wanted".
     I miss you, breathe easy my good friend.
        Scott Farnham

P.S. I think he finally got to like me (a little).

Well I really miss you uncle it is unbearable to go to your house and see that chair empty. Its heart wrenching to know I will never physically see you again. I really just want you know that I love you uncle. You are missed very much by all of us

Sheryl, my heart goes out to you and your family. I know the pain you are all going through. Ronnie always had a smile on his face, so I know you gave him as much happiness as he gave to you and your family. I pray that time will make the remembering easier and you again will smile remembering all the good times you shared. I love you all. God Bless you and your family.

Sheryl my heart goes out to you, my friend. I know how much you adored Ron and how you made sure he was as comfortable as possible. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and that God is with you and will give you peace. I love you,

Chuck was an incredible person. He was so kind. Chuck used to hand me a five dollar bill when I was working and ask me to play "his song" and play whatever else I wanted with the remaining credits. His song was a country song called Springsteen. Part of the lyrics are "It's funny how a memory sounds like a melody." It is an appropriate line in my life because I thought of him everytime I heard of that song and especially now after his passing. All my love, Sherry.

I have wonderful memories with Chuck and Sheryl, sitting in their backyard learning to love country music. One of my favorite things Chuck would say to me when I called their house was "You're looking good"….and I would smile because he obviously couldn't see me through the phone. He was always a charmer. Another memory is when I worked for Pacific Tanks for a second. I was going to school in Santa Barbara and he gave me the 1-2 pitch, some materials to show potential clients, and sent me on my way. I think he received at least one job because I recall visiting him in a hotel room in Santa Barbara with his trusty Budweiser beer. :) He was always kind to me, never an unkind word. We were related in life by my nephew Julian, his grandson, and forever related by the beautiful spirit of love and kindness. I am sure he will be one of the angels who greets me when it is my time. And I will hug him again, look into those baby blues, and he will tell me that I'm "looking good". Thank you Chuck. Thank you for being in my life and loving me as another member in the Conner/Ford family.

Dear Sheryl and family. Chuck was a wonderful person with a kind heart. When he came back to Iowa he always made time to visit with us. July in Iowa won't be the same without having Chuck around. May time and your memories of him help with your sorrow.  Mike, Kelly and kids.

Ron we have had the great pleasure of having you on this earth , because you have brought love and laughter to family and friends.We will miss you please save us a spot. Theresa and BOB

Wishing the family peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold. Chuck, I know you were a great husband, dad and grandpa. Your soul will forever live on in our hearts! 
Love and blessings

Sherry & Family,
The Armenta's are saddened by your loss and so wish that we could be there in person.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sheryl & Family,

I have such fond memories of Chuck.  Playing dice, laughing, and I'll never forget that horn when he arrived at Cheers letting Sherry know he was ready for a nice cold Bud.  Chuck had such a kind heart and was always kind to everyone, including me.   Memories I will cherish forever!  Rest in Paradise Chuck. ??

Ron was one of the greatest, kind, caring loving man i have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I will miss him so very much. Much love to all his family. See you on the other side my friend. You can finally breathe again.

My Dear friend Sheryl,    
My heart has been with you and your family everyday as you have walked through this time.  The greatest gift that Ronnie has left you and your family is that he loved you all very much.  We always hope our loved ones will do what we need them to do, so that we can feel safe in our journey with them,which they rarely do! However, when they are no longer with us, it is always there love for us that stands out.  Even though we wish they were still here with us, it is their love, and our love for them that carries us through to the next day.  You and your children were so blessed when Ronnie joined your family, the love he had for you and your children gave you much love and healing.  For that alone, He will always be special to me. He made my friend and her family happy and safe...No other gift is as important, and what we all should aspire to leave behind when we leave this world..Loving others has always been what God wanted us to be remembered for, this is our purpose here on earth.  Ronnie achieved God's purpose with his love for you, his family and all his friends..He will be remembered with LOVE.

Chuck, thank you for everything you have done for us. You are an amazing man. We miss and love you very much.

We are so very sorry for the loss of your sweet Ronnie. May you find comfort in the support of so many people who love you. Ronnie was a good man and will be missed. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Uncle Ronnie, I have such great memories of you laughing and having some great times with Roger.  Now, you're in heaven sharing some Buds together and catching up.  Thank you for being so great to my family for close to 30 years.  My kids grew up having wonderful memories too.  Prayers for God to bring peace and comfort to Aunt Sheryl, Charlie, Greg, Sherry, Brandy, and the rest of Uncle Ronnie's family now as we all find a way to go forward without you.  Forever in our hearts.  We love you.

Brandy and Sheryl, Chuck will be one of the best guys i will ever know! He will be missed so much by all that knew that wonderful man. I will keep him always in my heart! Cheers Chuck Forever My Bud! Love You!
