I grew up with Ron working on some construction project or another for my parents. He and his crew installed our pool and also the pool where I raised my family. His fingerprints are all over our community and we are better because of it.
Our hearts are heavy tonight and we are praying for peace for your family.

I have many fond memories of Ron growing up. My family lived across the street from the McFanin’s and I always was treated as part of the family. My heart goes out to Kay and all the family.

So sorry to hear that Ron passed away. He took care of (and put in) the pool at Dad’s and was a good friend of the family. Ron was always willing to help out and he will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I’m so sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. I’m so glad he got a hold of me this summer to help him with his lawn tractor, then the brakes on the car, and fixing the pressure washer, after not connecting for over 10 years. He was a great person and will be missed greatly. My thoughts and condolences go out to the whole family.
