December 22,  1963- November 26, 2019 When people think about a loved  ones passing, or ourselves. You always assume that someone that knew the depths of that person should be the one to write about them, and although I only met and knew Ron for a short amount of time. I feel like I almost got the most authentic and beautiful experience of him. I got to fall in love with my father in law through the eyes and words of the people who loved him the most. His flaws likely charming in a way, and memorable, I will never know Ron to have had a single one. To me he will always be a representation  of perfection. Someone who gave you every last bit he had, to ensure you were taken care of. A man with a huge heart, large enough to create a family beyond the constraints of blood, everyone that loved him became his family. He was a die hard browns fan who would have loved to known they took their third win in a row this year, one he didnt get to see, a champion cereal consumer, just like his son. I know with everything I've taken in over the past few weeks and months, that everyone lost someone special, and for me the loss is just as impactful, I lost an opportunity, to know and love my father in law the way everyone else does. I never got to make a memory with him, where he wasn't in pain, I never got to see the joy in his face when he met our babies, I didnt get to share with him the version of his son(joe) that I know. I'll never get the chance at late night laughter over a game of rummy, I lost time. The most painful part of it all. I feel a calm acceptance in my heart and mind that Ron is no longer in pain, he will never have another earthly worry, like the rest of us, and to everyone he is an angel, the way I've always known him, and the way everyone dreams of being rememered. In the spirit of thanksgiving, Help us to commemorate such a beautiful person, gone far too soon.
