I found Ron's dad's obit online, and I thought I'd save it here for Laurel and Miah. "Berbert" was like a grandfather to my girls, and they loved him very much. He was one of the nicest men I'd ever met. I'd like mom to comment here and tell everyone about the peanuts and squirrls in the backyard....if she wouldn't mind. It's a cute and funny story....
