I am grateful to have been close to Ron, he was a wonderful grandpa, and lived a fulfilled life, he always showed an unconditional love. I'm happy to have only fond memories. I had asked him years ago when diagnosed with diabetes and before his vision was impaired, what haven't you've done? Before I die he said I always wanted to fly in a helicopter. So I surprised him with a helicopter flight out of San Pedro. He was so excited, laughing, and smiling and happy that's what I want to always remember the way he looked that day! He has a special place in my heart I was lucky to tell him "I love you, and goodbye" when he was alive his last days.Ron you are greatly missed and loved.Thanks for the memories.

Ronnie, you're one of a kind. Since i was a little girl til the last time we seen eachother, you would always whisper sonething in my ear as I gave u a hug hello that would crack me up.

It won't be easy without you, but I will keep your memory alive by watching your favorite comedies, saying all your funny quotes and listening to all that great music you loved. I love you Dad!!

Most people that know the old man ,, will have their thoughts , but few that really knew him , the few that talked to him , the few that got in his heart . Those few people know the true treasure that is not lost , but is forever instilled in our hearts an will continue to live threw the tremendous love he showed an gave in every in brace that was a hug , followed by the 3 simple words that gave so many of us , a smile of comfort just to know he was there .  He was grumpy ,full of luv,full of life , full of hope , yea you had to dig a little , but if you took the time to clean the rust , you found something magical that will forever live threw me , he will forever be missed ,loved , an cared for forever ,,,,, love you ,,, Ron "old man" "grampa" SANDS!!!!

Dad you are forever in our hearts.I thank the Lord for the time we had together.
