To the Wilson Family,
My deepest condolences go out to you on the loss of your husband and father. I remember Ron coming to St Kevin's for the fire drills and I would walk past him and smile and he would wink. I was proud to be able to say that I knew the firefighter that came to our school because he was a good friend and co-worker to my dad. I will remember him and you in my prayers.
