Folks,

It is with great sadness that I must tell you that my dad passed away early this morning.  My mom received a call around 0100 that he had a heart attack and was in very critical condition.  She rushed over and was with him when he died about an hour later. Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes, and I ask that you continue praying for my family in this difficult time.

Ron Jr.
