Dear Doris and Ron’s Family, We are saddened to hear of Ron passing. He was such a good man. I worked with Ron at GTE during his Lithium Battery days and I worked for Ron on weekends doing home insulation. These were days when my family was young and to this day I am grateful for the extra work and I am grateful for all I learned from Ron. He was such a pleasure to work with and to work for, and our community as well as your family has lost such a good man. The Barth family will be in our thoughts. -“Bill V.”
