Dear Georgene and Deborah,
I was so sorry to hear about Ron from mom (Lorraine Nichols). I have such fond memories of him as I was finding my love of music. My private lessons from you, Georgene, were such an important part of my musical training. I remember all the times I babysat for Deborah when she was only a baby. I always loved Ron's great sense of humor and warm personality. Please know that you are both in my prayers.##imported-begin##Nancy (Nichols) McIntyre##imported-end##
Georgene,
My heart goes out to you and your family in this time of sorrow. I have walked in your shoes, but know that the good Lord has also, and He will never leave you alone. Please take some comfort in knowing your friends are there for you, call on any of us, at any time.##imported-begin##Grace Clark##imported-end##
Georgene & Debbie:
I spoke to my brother Chuck this morning and he informed me of Rons passing. Ron was my band teacher, and I his Band Manager, from 1960 to 1963 at Clover Park High School. It was the greatest time of my life being in that band and having Ron as my instructor. We had a great time. He always kept music fun and interesting for me, and I will never forget the wonderful times we all had. It was also wonderful seeing Ron again at my 40th class reunion where we had a chance to catch up on old times. My wife Sandy and I are truly sorry for your loss and may you both keep the memories and love in your hearts forever.

Dear Georgene and Debbie,
It is with great sadness that we write this note...We had such a great time with Ron on our last visit. It seems impossible to believe he won't be there on his lovely patio pointing out the deer by name and grilling the best meal ever on his grill...Joe and I both know what it is like to suffer the loss of a loved mate....It isn't easy, but you have your family that loves you, a wonderful daughter and the best memories ever, to hold on to and sustain you.
Kathy will be looking out for him and welcoming him. He will not be alone..
All our love, to you both and our most sincere sympathy. Joe and Ellie##imported-begin##Joseph Mewhiney and Eleanor Howe##imported-end##
Georgene and Debbie I am so sorry for your loss and am greatly saddened to hear of Ron's passing. The world has lost a great light and energy, one which can never be replaced. Ron inspired me to stick with band no matter how hard it got. My great love of music came from him and I will miss him terribly. Georgene and Debbie, if you need anything let me know.##imported-begin##Elizabeth Welch##imported-end##
Georgene, I'm so sorry for your loss. Ron was such a neat and friendly man. Both you and Ron played such a big part in Nancy's life. Because both you and Ron gave her such a good start in music she went on and became a teacher.
