Oh dear….so sorry to hear. I loved visiting Uncle Ron and Monk. Spent a lot of time there when I was a neighbor. Always some great laughs. Wish I had visited again after I moved, now I’m really sorry I didn’t. I’m working on the celebration day, but I will be thinking of him and his family. My heart goes out to you and glad he went peacefully. He will be missed by many. Always have good memories.
Spending time with Foxy at Frost Hollow was always a joy. We consider him a very special friend. Sympathy to all his beloved family.
