January 11, 1945 - May 5, 2006
 

Ron was a typical New Orleanian; he was in love with the culture,
heartbeat and heritage of his birthplace city.

He was a graduate of Holy Cross High School and
attended the University of New Orleans and was
a graduate of the University of Colorado, where
he received his Bachelor's Degree in Nursing.

He was a registered nurse at Ville Platte Medical Center and an
Oil Scout for Meridian Oil Resources.

He enjoyed playing guitar and outdoor activities such as biking
and hiking.

Ron was most content at home surrounded by his "boys"
Ernie and Lucky and his rescued repertoire of cats

He was loved by all and loved all who knew him.
 

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day
to laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left behind must stay that way.
I found that place at the close of day.

If my passing has left a void
then fill it with rememered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full,  I savored much
good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now, He set me free.
