Uncle Ron

When I woke up Monday morning, the 3rd of August, I had a text from my mom that said that my Uncle Ron had passed away the night before. It was kind of a shock. With my grandma, I knew it would be sometime soon, and was expecting it, but it was a totally different experience with my Uncle Ron. He was a kind, loving, patient, funny, happy person. He was always so willing to help whenever he could and always had candy with him. He had the best stories and taught Drivers Ed which I thought was incredible. He had the best most contagious laugh! You couldn't help but laugh when you heard him laugh. He loved Pinnacle and always wanted to break out the cards and play when we were all together. Love you Uncle Ron! You will be missed! Until we meet again, say hi to Grandpa and watch over us.

We only had to travel to Odgen for his Funeral, so we didn't have to go too far. We 'raided' his house and got to take things that we wanted/needed and I was the lucky one that got his Piano! (Thanks Dad!) I think of him everytime I play and am so thankful for the opportunity I have to re-teach myself and play piano again.



The boys love to play it too!
