Our condolences to the entire Elke Family. Ron was an amazing guy and being neighbors for so many years we could probably write a book about the fun, laughter and capers we shared, he loved life, always wore a smile, and always saw the good in everyone, he was one of a kind no doubt about that and he will be truly missed especially by Kianna who enjoyed their backyard chats through the fence. Rest in Peace Ron. Love the Ritchots - Posted by: Lynn Ritchot (Friend) on: Feb 16, 2015
