It is with great sadness that I write this memo of condolence to the family of Ron Tropea. I very much regret this tragic loss. If someone had asked me two weeks ago how long I had known Ron, I'd have answered ten years, maybe more, but the fact is I knew Ron for only for four years. That's the kind of guy Ron was…a guy you would meet and feel like you knew him all of your life. He had a great sense of humor, a big smile and a laugh that was uniquely Ron. I really enjoyed talking to Ron, hearing about the lodge, his fishing, hunting and in particular, about Vanessa. For years Ron has been trying to get me to come up to the lodge for fishing and hunting, but like everything else, I was too busy. Ron and I spoke just last month about hunting pheasant and grouse. I was really looking forward to that, but its not to be. Ron was easy to talk to and we always laughed our way through every conversation and that is what I will miss most of all. Rest easy my friend. You will not be forgotten.
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Dear Bobby, Carol and Family,

May the wonderful memories of Ronnie and the love of your family surround you and give you strength in the days ahead. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear of this. Jan and I send our deepest condolences.
