Ron, Dad, Poppy, Mr. B, was an extremely generous man who loved his wife, Catherine with all his heart. He enjoyed country life, taking care of his animals, a horse, a goat, some pigs, chickens as well as a passion for gardening. Canning fruits and vegetables was an annual event. And of course, all the dogs and cats, and the late Ping Pong a Shih Tzu. He was the host of many family picnics, always enjoyed by all.
As a member of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, he sang in the choir and supported the church and made many friends there. In his later years he loved sitting with Cathy in the rocking chairs in the front of the house overlooking the pond, watching the dogs run around and all the birds he fed. And a shot of Jack with his sons.
Graveside services will be held on Thursday April 14, 2022, 11:00 a.m. at Bethlehem Cemetery, Main Street South Bethlehem CT.
