Dear Rhonda,Cindy,Ronny and Lynette, I have not seen your dad in many years and the memories I have of him are fond. As a young girl shopping at Ronsam's the candy,chips and soda he shared with us on a regular basis were very much appreciated. That example of kindness demonstrates the soul of a very kind man with a good heart and a fabulous smile, ( that is the picture I will see when I think of Ronald Kerstein}. My sorrow extends to all of Ron's family members suffering his loss.
