Ginny, Rocky, Val & Julie,
I can´t tell you all what a privilege it is to know and work beside your husband and dad. Ron always had an offbeat sense of humor and an ability to see the practical side of things and truly be a peacemaker in every situation, which is every pastor´s dream for a board member. I will miss his wry smile that always left me guessing what he was up to. Ron loved people and loved getting a good bargain at a sale or flea market and kept me supplied with some good old books on faith or religion. Ron´s faith was an inspiration that got him through so many trials, and he leaves behind a legacy for his wife Ginny and their family. He made a difference wherever he went and always left people feeling better and a little more hopeful. Deb and I will surely miss him and our thoughts and prayers are with his family .
In Christ,
Pastor Terry & Deb Steinhauer

Sincerely, Mike & Juanita
