Nancy and entire Migliavacca family
Dave and I were so very sorry to hear of Ronny’s passing, He and Dave were great friends growing up; Dave always refers to Ronny as a “a good man!”. He was a great neighbor to my mom and dad and to my brother Bill. It was reassuring to both Dave and I knowing Ronny was around to keep an eye on them; and, he always did!
Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers, as is Ronny.
