To the Ostrowski Family -
Ron was a dear colleague of mine at PaineWebber for many years (he actually hired me). He was a mentor and dear friend to many, and his laughter, stories, and good humor will be missed. (I'm sure I have a photo of him dressed as Santa with my, now 26 year old son, on his lap in one of my photo boxes!) My condolences to you all.

Dear Dianne and family,
I am very sorry to hear about Ronnie.It has been quite some time since we have seen or spoken with each other.But,
One of my longtime memories of cousin Ronnie was when he would visit our house and visit with my mom and dad (Harry and Marge Milano, dad was Aunt Nell's youngest brother). Dad had helped me to obtain a beagle that came from hunting stock and Ronnie liked to offer training advice for him.
I live in Colorado and am unable to attend in person. Memories will help you through this.Our thoughts ,prayers are with you,
Love, Cheryl and Larry
