Loss of a great guy.
Will be dearly missed .Joe Cieslik Family
So sorry for your loss. It is so hard losing a parent at any age. I will always have good memories of him and the family at the gun club. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
I spent most of my life with Ron being there If I needed advice from him or for a good laugh. He was always a positive influence on me. He will be missed.
What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us, to hold forever. Ron was the mainstay for his family, a pillar in the community and a friend to all he met. Our sympathy to Kate and her family. Janet Thiles Haake. Virginia Thiles Davis
So very sorry for your loss!
Heard about Mr. Woodle’s passing just yesterday and am sending abundant thoughts and prayers to all of you.
Great guy, I never saw him get mad. Always kind, and thoughtful.
We’ve not only lost a good family friend but a man that has given so much to this community. I so enjoyed serving with Ronnie while he was on the County Board.

Ron is someone I’ve always looked up to, enjoyed the humor and guidance and am grateful he started the gun club as it has been a great place for people to get together and support each other. As for me and my family, we will miss you but are grateful for the privilege of knowing you and your wonderful family! God bless!
Ron was a tremendous asset to his Family but shared a great amount of heart and soul with the community and the county! He was a very well respected man in every aspect!!
