Ron Bard was much more than a friend, we were brothers in our journey through life. There's nothing like family and friends that have known us from our youth, and loved and supported us through good times and bad. Ron Bard and I shared such a relationship, and I considered him a gift from God. In later years, we did not talk often, but picked up conversations like we talked evey day, and we always knew were there for each other. Ron was bigger than life, exciting, funny, generous, loyal, and had so many other wonderful qualities.
Sadly for us, Ron is now back home with our creator, Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, resting in peace. He will be deeply missed but will always live in our hearts and memories. I will always cherish my memories of Ron and be grateful for the love and friendship we shared.
