Ron, and his wife Denise, enjoyed taking walks in their neighborhood and eating at local restaurants. In their spare time they would visit newly constructed model homes and gather ideals for the beautiful homes they have lived in over the years. If anyone knew Ron, they knew he enjoyed cats, and they rule the house. He would so enjoy watching the cat’s play making him laugh most of the time and the cats always gave him a napping companion.
