July 12, 1951 ~ November 1, 2018
Barbara Thompson here - Ron is currently having an “Agree/Disagree” discussion in heaven! Wouldn’t we all want to be part of that conversation?
Ron developed a fever on Wednesday, taken to the ER, then transferred by ambulance to our hospital. This morning he was moved to the ICU due to continuing fever, low blood pressure, high heart rates, and the myriad other issues that come with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
Both Veronica and Johanna had time with him today. He was conscious until just before he passed. I was blessed to hold his hand and whisper “I love you!”, one last time before he crossed into Paradise with the Almighty God he loved more than anything or anyone. I was so privileged to be married to this man for almost 45 years.
We do not mourn as those who have no hope! My sadness is selfish because I was greedy for more time to enjoy all the blessings God showered on us by means of our daughters, son-in-law, and 5 precious grandchildren who will miss their “Boppy/Grandpa”.Thanks to all of you for your outreach of love in so many ways. The days ahead will be hard. Please continue to pray. Memorial services (in Texas and California) have to be planned. I will continue to post information on Ron’s FB page. If you have a special memory that you can share please Messenger me at either this or my FB page.
UPDATE:
California Memorial Service for Ron will be:
Sunday, January 6, 2019 at 2:30 P.M.
Grace Baptist Church
22833 Copperhill Drive
Santa Clarita, California 91350
Ron and I were best friends at Benjamin Franklin School and we schooled together all the way to graduation at BHS. We were the founders of the "Monster" club in 6th grade with Ron being Dracula and I was the Wolfman. Knowing Ron was a blessing and he will truly be missed. Cal Foreman
