Dear Grandpa, since you've been gone I have really drawn a blank. Now that I have taken the time and really thought about what I really had and never realized, you were one of the best people have ever walked the earth, I always remember you always being at our house helping, or just coming over to visit. The thing that I am amazed about you that I was not able to notice when I was little, but when we went to church you were always waiting at the door greetings people and shaking everyone of their hands; this really showed what type of an amazing man you were. When I was real little I would always go over to grandma and grandpas house, always going out to McDonald's for the happy meal; and as well as always watching Sponge bob.  And when it was time to leave you would always kiss me all over the place we called it sugar. You were  the person that everyone needed in our life, you sure loved your Nascar and all those old radios that you had. The fact that you are gone is very sad to us, but we all know that you are up in heaven watching over each and everyone of us.
I love you sincerely until we meet again grandpa I love you, 
Scotty

Ron was a very humbled man who was a jack of all trades. If you needed help on a car Ron was the first to help or offer a solution. If you had a problem with a lock or needed a key made Ron was on top of it. Having the gift of all trades allowed him to do the most important task in life, raising three kids that weren't his. When the challenge of fathering three kids & raising them to be respectable adults arose, he took it & did the best he could, earning the right to call himself their father. Because of him raising Harry Scott, Harry was able to take on the role of being a father figure to myself, & to raise two boys. I'll always hold Ron to the highest levels of respect. For the time he served in the Army, he left behind a legacy at his unit, that is able to be shown in the medals he donned on his chest, to the stories he had to tell, and the things he learned. Every time i came home for leave, i would always visit Ron & Ethel on the way to my Aunt & uncles.  The last few years were hard on Ron & his family, but he never gave up on living so that he could be around his family for a longer time. The memories he left behind & the knowledge passed on will always be cherished. Gone but never forgotten. Love you Ron, until we meet again, March on!

So sorry to hear of Ron's passing.  I will always remember that wonderful smile when I would see him at the District Office.
My thoughts and prayers to Ethel and family.

Ron Holcomb was my uncle and although he lived all the way across the country from us I always looked forward to when we would get to see him. He was one of the sweetest men that I have had the pleasure to know.  I remember a canoeing trip from one summer when they visited as a child. I remember most the time uncle Ron and Aunt Ethel spent with my mother in her final days 10 years ago. I enjoyed visiting with them both so much. I remember talking with Uncle Ron about some work he wanted to do to restore an old radio.  It was fun hearing him talk about what he wanted to do to restore it and we were searching for parts online for a new project he was working on. Ron was a great man, uncle and father as will be greatly missed.

Uncle Ron was a sweet, loving man.
 I will always cherish the memories of Uncle Ron at birthday celebrations, gag gifts at Christmas and family gatherings in Pahrump. I will never forget his love for professional car races~he loved watching those races! I will always remember his kind heart & constant smile. 
I am truly blessed to have had you as my Uncle. You've loved well  & will always be loved. May you rest in the arms of Jesus. 


You became my dad in 1973 when my dad was killed. I was 12 years old at the time you were only 27. Even though we butted heads due to the stubborn brat that I was. I remember you always helping me with my homework when we lived in Frazier Park. You always tried to have a motorcycle or a mini bike for us to ride. I remember having a tv in the car going back East before tv's were in the car. You brought me my first truck  I wanted you couldn't believe  I wanted that truck it was 7 different colors in a junk yard with stuff piled  all around it. I pretended to be sick so I could see it towed  in the driveway instead of going to school that day. Pops you were so easy going even when I wrecked  your VW and your dune buggy. Doing so you decided to build a baja  out of the VW and the motor from the buggy thanks Pops I loved it! We were always working in the garage,  painting trucks, working on cars some of my best memories. you taught me so much. This was the kind of man Ron was he finds a 46 GMC pickup on the side of a church and pays $35.00 for the truck. We pulled the truck apart and put it back together and ran great. When I bought my 57 truck you said it didn't sound right. When you popped the hood you said good job kid it was stock truck which is how Pop's liked it. 53 truck was missing behind locked gates when I got up and no he didn't have the keys. He came sliding around the corner with a huge smile on his face is this one mine. Thanks for being a big part of my kids life. Like when I was teaching Scotty how he got his good looks ( from dad) then you to change it when I asked Scotty later he said grandpa you can imagine my surprise.   I give you 100 percent credit on how I turned out. Thank you for all these great memories there isn't enough room or enough paper to ever write them all down.  You are forever embedded in my heart and will always be.  I love you Pops and miss you more than you know. Love your son Harry.

Ron was always fixing stuff even if you didn't know it was broke. When I was pregnant with Scotty Ron had called the house I didn't make it to answer the phone.  Scotty sat on my sciatic nerve and I couldn't get to the phone fast enough (before we has caller ID) to answer it  about 15 minutes later Ron was at the house I just called and you didn't answer the phone. I told him by the time I got there you hung up and no message. The next day when I got home I had a new phone installed where I sit. I never missed a call again. I also miss every Friday you and Ethel were in our driveway to ( steal or kids)  pick up Scotty and Dalton. Then on Sunday we all had a family dinner together.  You and Ethel would always say you don't have to make us dinner . I always said the same thing I want to because I want my kids to have the memories and hopefully invite me to dinner when they have there  kids. You don't realize what you have till it's gone boy I do miss you a lot!  

I have such wonderful memories of sweet Ron...especially at the “Old” District Office. Ron was always very positive and happy.  He spoke so highly of Ethel.  
My love and condolences to Ethel, Harry, and his whole family.


ron was a great guy we had some fun holiday dinners. i will miss you ron and all the fun ethel  and you that we had together. god will take care of you now ron in our hearts and prayers love you

Uncle Ron was certainly one of a kind.  His kindness and gentle soul was remarkable and the way that he was so loving to my Aunt Ethel made me realize what a good man really was.  My aunts used to all laugh and tell my Aunt Ethel that when they came out to the East Coast she had to share him with all the sisters because we all just adored Ron!  We had a good talk once about our love of taking something old and refurbishing or upcycling old things into something new and usable.  The next time Ron and Ethel came out East, he brought the amazing vintage Cosco step stool for me which he had refurbished and painted an amazing yellow!  I was so touched that he thought of me, purchased this chair, took the time to make it look new and then carted that thing all the way from CA to OH!  It proudly sits in my yellow kitchen and every time I look at it I feel the love and compassion which was my amazing Uncle Ron Holcolm!  I know you have your wings now and when I get mine we will refurbish heaven together!  Love and miss you!

Ron was the greatest brother-in-law anyone could ever ask for.  He was always willing to help Ethel's sisters when he came out East.  Someday I will meet him in Heaven!  He always called me Juaniti, which always warmed my heart that he felt close enough to me to give me a nick name!    You will be missed but I know I will meet you on the golden shores one day and we will laugh and joke like we always did!  I love you Ron!

We never got tired of listening to Ron and Gaylon talk about their adventures with their cars over the years, Rest in peace, Ron. You'll be in our prayers.   Bill,Jeremy & Chanel

Hey  Ron ,  Always  Enjoyed  Our  Friendship ,  Correction ,  CHERISHED  our  friendship ;  talking  Cars  and  our  escapades  on  our  trips  to  different  places .  WE  WILL  meet  again  and  I  can`t  wait ....  Your  Friend   Dean Rush ,   SEE  Ya  LATER  BUD  .... 

Ron, I only got to know you recently when I joined the family.  Thank you for welcoming my family and I into your family.  You were always warm, and friendly,  such a kind and gentle soul. It was alway a pleasure spending time together and you will be greatly missed. 



Dad, I remember when you first came into our lives and pulled us back together as a family...I thank you for that.  I also thank you for for teaching me patience, which I had very little of when I was younger. I miss you very much Dad, love you. Love Ted

Ron was always a special brother-in-law. He enjoyed going to junk shops for that special treasure, especially old radios. One time we traveled to his moms with him and Ethel, and visited some of these  shops. We bought so much stuff, we had to put it on top of his small car. We drove home in the pouring rain, looking like the Beverly Hillbillies.
We will miss you Ron. God, in His goodness, welcomes you with open arms.

Uncle Ron was such an amazing man and I as well as everyone who ever got to meet him will miss him deeply. I remember him swinging my and throwing me in the air as a little girl. It seemed like he never got tired of this game regardless of how many times I came back for more. Every time I think of him this is the memory I treasure and it always makes me smile.

Uncle Ron was always a gentlemen. He complimented my Aunt Ethel perfectly. You made my last trip to California fun and full of smiles. Love you forever Uncle Ron you will be missed greatly. Xo Regina

Ron was my favorite brother-in-law, a wonderful man, caring , kind, helpful, loving, great sense of humor. He was the kind of man every woman dreams of being  with. He could fix anything, and would do anything for anyone. This loving man will be truly missed. I love you Ron.

Ron was always such a kind gentle soul, such a gentleman and a hard worker. When Ron would come to our school, his smile was so radiant and his manner was so professional. He loved his job and would always do his best to make sure our needs were met when it came to fixing or installing equipment. 

My heart goes out to you  and I am sending prayers for healing. My thoughts are with you during this time of grief.



Ron was always so kind and gentle and always so very helpful. I really am thankful I got a chance to know him working in this school district.  God Bless him and the entire family.

My best memories are of Ron and Ethel visiting my mom Gracie. They would talk and laugh for hours.  Even though visits were months apart it was like they   would pick up on the same conversations and time and distance never mattered.  I'll miss you Ron.

Ron was a very special man and always ready to help when anyone had a problem.  He was also very understanding and considerate.  I remember a time that he was going to do some work for a neighbor of mine and because Ron got off work before her husband she asked me to accompany him over to her house.  I agreed to her request but instead Ron took the time to stay over at my house and visit with me until her husband got home and she would feel more comfortable.  I always considered him to be a true gentleman.

Dear Grandpa, 
I miss you. My world will not be the same without you in it. You were the kindest and most generous person. When I think of you I remember how much you loved grandma unconditionally and would do anything to make her happy. You loved to work outside and you loved to fix things. I know you’re up in heaven fixing and loving now. I love you always.
Love, Crystal.



I greatly admired Ron, a kind, thoughtful, and humble man, whose work ethic and mechanical expertise was bar none. He was always ready, willing, and able to be of assistance to me and others at the Saugus Union School District. He would greet you with his infectious smile, a calm demeanor, and a quiet assurance that the job would be done right.

Everybody loved Ron. He will be missed, and the following quote from Thomas Campbell rings true at this time.

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”

Ron was always such a kind gentlemen....one of the Good Guys.  xo

I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing.  He was such a kind and  gentle soul.     My deepest sympathy goes out to Ethel and family.

I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Ron and Ethel were 2 of our favorite people from our church (Journey in Lancaster, CA).  Ron was always so helpful to everyone, particularly in building out our new sanctuary.  

Now Ron is at peace with the Lord (along with my beloved husband, Thomas).  God bless Ethel....a truly lovely lady.

Ron was a gentle, kind and patient man. He was my mentor at SUSD. He trained me how to fix TV’s, radios, CD players, DVD players, stereos and taught me the basics of locksmith. He was an enormous influence in my life and will be missed.  Ron never raised his voice or used profanity at or around me but, we had been working at Santa Clarita elementary school installing a 120V circuit on the outside of one of the kindergarten rooms so the teacher could have power outside. This particular teacher did not have the best disposition. As we were working she told us to come back at her lunch because we were disturbing her class. Ron very kindly  responsded to the teacher, you wanted this installed today for your evening program tonight and we must complete the work now to be ready for your event because we are off work in 1hr. The teacher lost her composer at us and then walked away.  Afterwards she walked away Ron turned and said to me in a very stern voice.  “Jim, I just lost interest in this project pack it up and let’s go”.  I still chuckle when I think of this memory and many others we shared.

I have to many stories with this  WONDERFUL Man!!!!

Jim 

Uncle Ron was such a kind, and loving man. I have a lot of memories of him from my childhood, but what I'll remember most is how unselfish, and caring he and Aunt Ethel were during my mothers last days. They put their lives on hold to make moms last days as comfortable as possible, all while being 2500 miles from their home. I'll also remember how Uncle Ron seemed to turn into a little kid again when he'd watch a race on tv. 
Rest in peace Uncle Ron. You will certainly be missed. 





My memories of Ron are very limited.   Ron was the oldest one of us from our generation, so of course I am a few years younger than him.  I am  closer in age to David.  I remember going to Grandmother Sutherland's house on Sunday after church and on special occasions and Ron would be there.  His family and my family were the ones who lived the closest to our grandparents so we gathered at their house more than the others.  I remember the few times Ron and his family coming to our house in Kennett and Ron and my dad would shoot some basketball.  I don't remember if Ron was athletic, however, my dad was.  I remember thinking how easy it was for Ron to make the basket because he was so much taller than we were,  I do remember Ron always smiling.  He always had kind words to say.  I remember when Ron left the small town of Cardwell and moved off.  As a child, we made a few trips to California and I would see Ron, and on his visits back to Missouri, I would see him, but our time together was very limited.  I have not seen Ron very much in my adult life, but just knowing he was here, made all the difference.  My heart goes out to his family, but please know you are all in my prayers.  I loved Ron and he will be missed.

Being the youngest brother I was only around 7 when Ron graduated high school and then he went in the Army and then to California. So I was not around him as much as I would have liked to be. I do remember he was very good at repairing things. I helped him work on some TVs and I learned quickly not to get your hand too close to the picture tube. His passion was restoring old radios. He was also good at repairing cars. He would go to the salvage yard and get the parts and have it repaired in no time. He will be truly missed. 

David and I married in 2004. I didn’t get to see Ron a lot, but when I did he treated me like he had known me forever.  He had the nicest smile and he was such a great person. I will miss him so much. My prayers are for Ethel during this hard time. 

Ron was my favorite brother-in- law. I don't think I ever saw him when he wasn't smiling, and what a beautiful smile he had. The man could fix anything, all you had to do is mention it and he would have it fixed before you knew it.I will really miss him. I know he is in heaven fixing everything  that is broken as we speak.Love and miss you. LOVE RUBY

I called him Gramps because he loved me all the same.  He provided me with key knowledge in electricty and love. He always told me to never stop loving his family and to be by their side. We both shared a common background in military service. I provided Gramps with a little grand daughter named Kendall Springer.  I miss his smile and how he complained about the little things. He will truly be missed.

Sorry to hear Ron passed away.  We lived on the same gravel/dirt road along the St. Francis river and went to school together in  Cardwell, Missouri.  I met Ron and his family in the early 1950's when I moved from Hawaii to Missouri.  I knew his family well.  All good people.  Ronald was a smart fellow.  He  taught  me a few things about "electronic" before it became a word.  I left Cardwell in 1961.   But alway remembered him as a friend.  God bless  him and his family.

We were sorry to hear about Ron's passing.   He was a kind, gentle soul who was always so positive.  He could fix anything and was such an asset for SUSD staff and students.  We wish we could be at his services, but we are in Arizona.   Ron definitely made this world a better place for everyone he met . 

Ron was a special person . We had many great times together. He loved the races, picking through the dump for treasures and going out to lunch. I will miss his happy smile and his large laugh.

Ron and I shared the same birthday. We would always call each other on December 27. I will miss those calls. Ron was a kind man who always laughed at my corny jokes, and always remembered to burn my hot dogs on the grill just for me. He will be missed by many. Heaven gained another angel.

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Ron. He was always sure to flash his great smile and had the respect and admiration of all of us at SUSD who worked with him.
Just a wonderful man. My condolences to you and your family.

One of my best  memories and story with Uncle Ron is when  I was a young girl and I traveled with uncle Ron from California to Ohio & down where his mom lived in the back of his Truck !  He built Ronnie and I beds & a camper shell  (No seatbelt laws then ) we explored across the United States ,  I also went fishing for the very first time on the Mississippi river ! My memory of this will always be with me & I forever will cherish it along with many other memories of you .You will be missed !!! Love you always Lisa 

Dear Grandpa,
I still can’t believe you’re gone. I miss you dearly and I don’t think that will ever change. You were the kindest person and would do anything for anyone. I’ll miss your hugs, your kisses, and you warm smile that would light up any room. You’ll forever be in my heart. I love you. Love, Arlene 


Praying for your family. So very sorry for your loss. May you feel God near giving peace and comfort as only He can.
