Just saw this obit for my friend. Ron was an exceptional person, as was Betty. Two wonderful people who shared their times on Earth with many people. I lost track with both after they moved from Saginaw. Anyone who was fortunate to know them was a fortunate person. My most sincere condolences to their families. Scott Smith
