My deepest condolence to the Calandra family. I remember going to many of your family parties when we were younger and then as get older we don´t see the families of our friends as much as we see our friends. I´m so glad that the last five years I really got to know your dad all over again. The trips we got to go on with your dad and the laughs we had, those are memories we will never forget. Rest In Peace Mr. C

My sincere condolences to his family. I considered Ron a special friend for more than 50 years dating back to working with him at Uniform Printing, Collins and finally at Allstate. After we retired we enjoyed the occasional breakfast get together. I will miss him as I'm sure his family and many friends will.
