Love and miss you Dad, Ron

Dad, I started to write this quite awhile ago and was not sure of what to say. Sorry this has taken so long but I have to let you know that you are ever so deeply missed and there isn't a minute that goes by that you aren't thought of. You are truly one of the greatest fathers, who was always kind, caring and thoughtful of your family and many others. Dad, I love you and miss you and will be with you again some day. Love your #3 son, Ron

My deepest sympathy is extended to all of you, Belle, Cheryl, Mike, Eddie, Nancy, Mike, as well as the grandchildren abd great-grandchildren. You all lost a very important and obviously well-loved member of your family, and my heart goes out to all of you during this difficult time. I know what a great family you have because I had the pleasure of teaching all of the older Summers' kids, and I got to know Belle very well and Gene too. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you deal with the loss of your beloved husband, dad, granddad and great-granddad. May the memories of your wonderful family life sustain you all.
