Ron and Jerry enjoyed traveling together and relished their summers on Owasco Lake and their winters in Florida.  He enjoyed hunting, fishing, golf, gardening and berry picking along with playing cards with family and friends.  He especially enjoyed and looked forward to his time spent at the deer barn with the boys!  We have all benefitted greatly from his excellent carpentry skills.
