  2. Hi Everyone, I have talked to Ron. I am Tawni, Rick's Daughter. I didn't think about posting here until today. I just want to say thank you again, so much, for posting this for his friends to see. We had trouble notifying people, and that was very difficult for us. I'd like to say thank you to all his friends for being his friends! He is missed terribly, and He, was "My Maker of Fond Memories"! I love you Dad!
