   To my sister Ruth Ann Scott and Caitlyn:
   It was with great sadness I heard of Ron's passing. I have such fond memories of Ron and Robert when they were in high school at Colfax. My dad Robert and mother Mickey use to make trips often to the farm when Ruth Ann and Bob Scott lived in Otter Creek! We had many fun times on the farm. That seems a vivid memory of good times when the boys were ready to take on the world and make a difference! Ron was a very accomplished wrestler for Colfax and in 1989 he went 26-0 in regular season! I was so proud of him! Shelly and I saw many of his matches and tournaments!
   My two children and Caitlyn have not met. I look forward to making that happen. My daughter Catie and son Robert are 27 and 30 respectively. Catie has a daughter Saige Capri Schultz. She is 10 also. I am sorry this didn't happen sooner, but I am hopeful we can exchange friendship as a family member in the future!
   Ron's dad Bob Scott was such a comedian too! I know where Ron received his sense of humor! We had such fun playing 31 on the farm and at my parents house on 12th Ave. West in Menomonie! He use to love to pick on my mother Mickey! We all loved him so! A Vietnam Veteran and a fine man! I think of him often!
   Losing Robert was such a tragedy too! 19 years young and his whole life ahead of him! I felt so sorry for Bob, Ruth Ann and Ron! Ron looked up to Robert so much! That was very tough on the entire family. A parents worst nightmare and very hard to handle! Ruth Ann and Bob deserve a lot of credit!
   Attending Ron's funeral will not be pleasant and I am not looking forward to it! Losing a family member is hard, especially one as young as Ron! I know Ron and Robert and Bob are togather in heaven once again and for that I am happy! God always provides for all his children! RIP Ron, and remember you are loved by many! Until we all meet again, I bid you farewell for now!
