Shirley and family, Although we have only met one time, I feel we made a great connection for the Roth/Schraeder families. You have all been on our prayer list since we met and now will continue be held up in sympathy for your needs over the next few weeks and months. Although we didn't know Ron, from the pictures of the family and your devotion, Shirley, he obviously was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. Take care and God Bless. Mike and JoAnn

To the Deal family, We were sorry to hear about the passing of Ron. He was a man to be admired. I enjoyed working for him. And I consider myself blessed that I knew him and all of you. I hope good memories carry you through these tough times. My prayers are with you.

Sorry to learn of Mr Deal passing. I remember some great things from my childhood involving him! Ringing the bell for the family dinners for sure! Also, he was the first one I ever know that had a round "tuit" gag. Waving us around the corner out of the court when we were driving Rick's go kart around the neighborhood streets so we could make a fast lap! Even thought the time and miles from those days are great, the memories last. Mike Schaler
