I was so sad to hear about Ron. I enjoyed the times I got to see him , I liked to talk to him about trucking because I was a trucker once. He will be missed.

It is Wednesday afternoon and we are still having a hard time accepting that Ron is no longer with us, We know that he is at peace with the Lord in Heaven, but we selfishly wish he were still among us. We so cherished our friendship with him. We will miss his companionship, soft voice, and hardly laugh.
Please remember, we are there for you and your family, always.
Love Carol and Dave
We were so saddened to hear about Ron. We are keeping you all in our daily prayers. God’s love will help you through this terrible time.

I attended Sisseton High School with Ron; he always had a big smile for everyone; a nice guy!

Paulette, Amanda & Colt,
We are so sorry to hear about Uncle Ronnie. I’m so glad we got to talk to him after hearing Uncle Harold’s “Bring Back The Bands” Performance July 2nd. It will be a very much treasured memory I’m
sure for his brothers, Wayne, Harold, Stanley & Rodney. As far as that goes for all the rest of us too! He will be missed.
Dear Paulette, Amanda and Colt
Words cannot express how sorry we were to hear about Ron. Our deepest sympathy to all of you.
With Love, Pat and Jim Larson
My deepest sympathy’s to all of Ron’s family. I just saw him about 2 weeks ago. We have loaded him on & off for years & he always came by when in town to say HI. It was a complete shock to all of us here at Cal-Con Transportation also. He will be missed.
My heartfelt prayers are with you and may your memories comfort you. He is in a better place now with God.

We are so sorry to hear that Ron passed away. Our prayers are with your family during this sad time.
Paulette, Amanda and Colt,
I am so sorry to hear about Ron. My prayers are with you all, wishing you strength and comfort and God’s blessings as you remember Ron.
I am writing you to express my deepest sympathy for you and your family. I have also lost a loved one in death and I cannot express how sad I felt at that time. But I found great comfort God’s word, the Bible. Isaiah 26:19 tells us that our dead ones will live again. Also I found comfort at Revelation 21:3,4 where it God promises us that no one will say I am sick and there will be no more pain or sickness. Death will be no more. These are promises that God makes to us in the near future. It brough me great comfort knowing that my dead loved ones would be brought back to life and we will all live together in peace and happiness with no more death or sickness. I hope these scriptures brought you great comfort as well.
Thank you,

I have worked with Ron for the last 10 years and enjoyed being one of his dispatchers. I never had to worry with him, he took care of his job. I will miss him tremendously. There are not many drivers like him left. My prayers and thoughts are with his family.
