Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
CIndy, You may not remember me, but we were in graduate school together. I was very sorry to read of your husband’s death. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my childhood friend and classmate, Ronnie Green. Today I am filled with memories of being in Boy Scouts, playing sports and growing up together in Socorro, NM. Ronnie was a good friend to many, an accomplished and talented human being, and I know his family is deeply proud of their son and brother. Undoubtedly, Ronnie will be missed enormously by all. To Cindy and family, and to Ronnie’s family in New Mexico, please accept my deepest condolences, and I am truly sorry for your loss.
Dear Cindy & Family, Please accept my condolences and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Cindy, I hope that all of your happy memories with Ron help you through this. Take care and if there is anything I can do for you, let me know.
Cindy, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. You are in my prayers as you travel through this difficult time. May God’s strength and mercy carry you.
Cindy, We are thinking of you during this difficult time. Know that you are in our thoughts & prayers. Much love, The McKnight Family Sherryl, Rex, Brian & RANDY (former elementary student!) & families
I met Ron about 6 years ago in business and instantly connected with him. He was one of the most sincere, down to earth people I have done business with. Wish I could have got to spend more time around him! So sorry to hear of this tragic loss.
Cindy, I was shocked to hear about Ron. Please know that my prayers are with you. I am here if you need me. Please call me. My phone is 652-7029 or cell 259-1720. I will try to come by tonight. There is a back to school BBQ from 6-7. Thinking of you, Shari Brown
Cindy, It was a special privilege for us to have known Ron and you. Even though it was for such a short time, both of you are so dear to our heart. May the love and confort of the Lord manifest to you in this moment of pain and loss in your life. We love you and our prayers are with you at this moment. Love, the Sandovals
Cindy we are so sorry for your lose. We pray god will be with you the days to come. You were sent to Wichia for a reason. I know that doesn`t help now but it will later. You will be in our prayers for days to come.
Ron, May your walk with the Lord be as joyfull and pleasant as the walk you shared here on earth with us. Your company was always welcomed by Kathy and I. Never short for conversation, always a smile on his face and always a good word to say about something or someone. With willingness to extend a helping hand, a great golfing partner (really enjoyed golfing with Ron) and just a good all-round friend. You will be surely missed. I guess it’s your turn now to pre-set up the eternal Tee-times for us. All our love to you Ron and Cindy.
Dear Cindy and family, you are all in our thoughts and prayers today and in the future in the loss of Ron. Please know that we care deeply for you and we want to support you in any way we can. Love always, Liz and Doug McGinness
Cindy, Our prayers and thoughts are with you during your time of grief. He is walking with the angels and loving you still. He will be missed dearly by all those who were blessed to know him, no matter how brief. We love you.
I only knew Ron through work. He was always very vibrant and cheerful, not to mention very competent and organised. He spoke often and proudly about Cindy and Cheyenne and the interesting lives they lead. My heart goes out to you, and you are in my prayers. M.J. Spelliscy Holland & Knight LLP New York City
Dear Cindy, I knew Ron from working at Farm Credit (Albuquerque) and through mutual friends in Socorro. My husband played golf with him at Socorro also. We are so very sorry for your loss. It has been a while since I saw him, but my husband saw him in Dallas when the NM Amigos were touring the Cowboy’s stadium. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
From my family to yours. Cindy please know you are in our prayers as you go through this difficult time. God Bless you and your family. Kris Huntoon and family..Amber, Kelsey, CJ, Ebony.
Ron was my boss at Raytheon for about 5 years. He hired me in 2003. He was ‘head and shoulders above’ and was the best boss that I have ever had in my career. He was a very special person and was very compassionate, caring, fair, and genuine. He was very proud of his family and I recall several times when I was in his office and his mother would call just to visit on the phone or share a family moment with him. I knew that he had a special bond with all of his family members and it was very heartwarming to see that interaction. He spoke well of all of his family and he shared times when his sister served in the governor’s office. I had the opportunity to tell Ron that I thought he was ‘cut from good cloth’ and I admired his strong family values. He maintained contact with me since he moved to Texas and I will always be greatful for that. I was able to give him a set of uncirculated new State of New Mexico quarters as soon as they came out because I always knew that New Mexico had special meaning to him and he had many fond memories. The only regret is that I had such a short time to know and work with Ron. He will be a memory for me forever. Frank Graham
Cindy, My deepest sympathies to you! Ron was a kind, caring and generous person! He never had a bad thing to say about anyone and was always quick to offer a hand or an ear! He always made people laugh and was always smiling! I enjoyed working with him! He will be missed by so many! May God bless you and keep you in his continuous care!
Cindy, Randy and I were very sad to hear of Ron’s passing. We have many fun Northbrook memories of you and Ron, and will keep you in our prayers during this time of sadness. Keep the faith. Love, Joann and Randy
Cindy, I am thinking of you.
Cindy,we want to offer our sympathy at Rons untimely death. Our thoughts and our prayers are with you and your whole family.
Ron touched the lives of people from all corners of the world. He had many friends and admirers in Brazil and we already miss his visits here.
