I first met Ron at Faith Lutheran Church on Berrydale when we were little kids. Our families have been friends forever. My brother and I spent lots of time at the Zimmerman house where we had so much fun with Ron who always had great ideas of what to do with our spare time. Shooting at model cars with a pellet gun in his garage was a really good/bad one. Ron and I would sometimes play board games with my older brother and his friends. If we were about to win a game of Monopoly, somehow the game was extended by a made up rule and arguments ensued. Growing up with Ron was a special time in my life that I will never forget. You will have a place in my heart forever, old friend. I will be looking for you when my time on earth is done.

Ron was a great neighbou and a wonderful individual. We missed him and Cindy when they left the community but loved that they came back every year to our annual BBQ. Our deepest condolences to Cindy and the Family.

I grew up with Ron at Faith Lutheran church in the 60s and 70s ...he was a good kid and well liked...my condolences to the Zimmerman family and I am sad to hear of his passing..

Very sorry to hear of Ron's passing. We grew up together in the same neighborhood but life took us on different paths. I had recently reconnected with him and he shared memories and how our families were doing. He was very proud of everyone in his family, as he shared current details with a proud smile on his face. We parted hoping to get together soon. Ron will be missed.

Cindy and family, we are so sorry for your loss. Ron left us to soon. I was blessed to have met Ron on our respective first day at U of M Commerce in September, 1980. He became a great friend, counsellor and mentor. Would not have graduated without him. After losing track of each other over the years, it was such a pleasure for us to reconnect again over the last couple of years. A true gentleman. God bless.

Ron was a good friend. Once you were a friend of Ron's you felt like you were part of his family. He was always there with a smile and an offer to help without judgement. A true gentleman has left us and will be missed.

What beautiful memories! Ron was a kind, friendly and lovely human being. Thoughts and prayers goes out to his family during this very difficult time. I am sure the grandchildren will bring you much happiness and continuity.

See you soon.

Karen and Robin
