    I have such wonderful memories of the Karg brothers teaching me how to ice skate when I was a little girl. They were both always so kind. My deepest sympathy to Ron’s family. He was such a good man.

    I will always remember Ron and some of the times we had in our younger years! I have one fond memory of us changing out the transmission in my 68 Olds and us getting drenched with transmission fluid when we pulled the transmission out! Bless his memories and God now has a good Handy Man in heaven!

    My family and I had the pleasure of living next door to Ron for the last 22 years. I still remember how welcoming he was when we first moved in, and through the years, always with a kind word and plenty of colorful stories, and that million dollar smile. We will truly miss him..
