My brother, Joel Mays, worked with Ron and I also worked at Timken and remember seeing Ron on the job even though I did not work in the same department.

May God comfort and keep each of you, his family and friends.

I know that as Ron passed through the portals of heaven he looked back at all of his friends, smiled and said " life passes swiftly but memories and friends are forever" " I will be waiting here for you".

To Ron's loving family I pray that God will give you comfort during these difficult days and let us all rejoice and give thanks for knowing Ron. God Bless
