I am very sorry for your loss. Ron will be remembered by me as a kind and intelligent man. May God protect him in Heaven. I will always remember him and his kindness. You should be proud he was a member of your family. In his own way, he was a true hero. I will miss him.
I didn’t know Mr. Hohenwarter, but both my mother and I were students of his mother’s at LCHS (Mom was in the class of ’72 and I was in Ms Bennawit’s homeroom my senior year, ’91). I also remember taking a Red Cross babysitting course taught by Sandy sometime back in the 80’s! My thoughts are with your family during this difficult time. Take care. – Barry Goldbach.
Sandy, so sorry to read about your brother. On behalf of myself and my family we wanted to let you know that we will keep Ron and you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sandy and Emily,
I am so sorry to hear of Ron’s death. He has now joined my brother, Pat, and his beloved mom and dad in heaven. I remember my younger cousin with great fondness and pray that he is at peace now looking out for all of us.
May the Good Shepherd bless and console you.
Love from your cousin,

Sandy and Family,
I have so many happy memories of Ron and your Mom and Dad. Ron had a great personality. He was a lot of fun when he came along Girl Scout camping back when your mother was my troop leader. I saw Ron several years ago and we had lunch and talked about old times.
Your in my prayers.
