Condolences
Deepest Sympathy
Ronnie always had a smile on his face, full of laughter.
Octorara Class of 1976 has lost another classmate.
I have heard that the Parkesburg Baptist Church family was such a help to the family during Ronnie's illness. God has provided us with angels on earth.
God Bless you Suzanne, Justin and friends of Ronnie.
Rest in peace.
Ronnie Wiggins

Mrs.Wiggins,
So sorry to hear that Ronnie has passed on.
Ronnie was my kindergarten crush!
I will never forget how cute he looked in his sailor suit! And won't forget his bout with chicken pox ...
He always made us laugh in class he was a jokester,fun loving guy and always good for a nice conversation .What a beautiful smile.
Parkesburg and the class of 76 have lost another good soul, You are gone from here Ronnie, but will never be forgotten.
Prayers and thoughts are with the family.

Thinking of you Suzanne and his son!!!
I was both sorry and at peace about hearing of Ronnie's passing. Cancer can come in many forms. Some are lucky to find it early or have the ability to receive all the lastest treatments/ surgeries/medicines ...while others can develop it in an acute stage with limited chances to rid it from our bodies. I am glad he isn't suffering any more. Prayers for your sorrow Suzanne and time for you to take care of yourself.( Sure you were exhausted trying to care for him.) I remember your family well that always involved joking around and laughter. Thinking of you at this time. Love, Beth and John, ( Josh, Kyle and Trev )
Ronnie.......
WOW-i can't believe it! Last time i spoke with you, you were redoing the plumbing at Greg's house. Suzanne - my heart goes out to you. The Class of 76 as well as many others will miss a very kind, dear friend. We are all so glad he is out of pain now and in a much better place. I will always remember when he had the chicken pox and i had the mumps - we made a great team! But then he bought the camero and what a car - he always let me drive it to and from school as well as just to borrow it to look "cool". I will miss you my friend but now you are with Greg up there talking once again about cars. Prayers to your entire family.
My prayers and thoughts go to
My prayers and thoughts go to Mrs. Wiggins and Justin. Another soul left us too quickly. Fly into God's arms, Ronnie. Be at peace and we will see you again someday.

Ronnie
Mrs. Wiggins and Justin,
My deepest sympathy in your loss. Ronnie was a great guy and a great friend. We went to school together from Kindergarten through graduation. Ronnie was always there to make you laugh and to help you out. He will be missed by the class of '76 and the residents of Parkesburg.
You are both in my prayers...
Heart of Gold
I am sad to learn of Ron's passing but I'm sure he will now find peace. Ron stayed at my house in Pottstown about a year. He always said I saved his life, though I don't know how. He had a heart of gold though at times he seemed to stray outside the social bounds of what some call acceptable. He seemed to battle an inner conflict between what "should be" and what "will be."
Ron had a terrific humor and applied it to as many situations as he could. I remember he and Justin doing the "cat shuffle" behind Suzanne's housecat and though I felt a little sorry for the cat, just picturing him and Justin, one behind the other, makes me smile.
Ron could fit into many social circles. We took a trip to Connecticut to visit my sister's family. We all took in a stage show and did some day trips. Ron was always smiling in the pictures I have.
Though we did not stay in touch after he moved back to Parkesburg, I often thought about him and never lost my affection for him. He fiercely loved his son and although was at odds with his parents at times (who hasn't been?), his love for his family was strong and loyal.
I did not know he was ill - I'm guessing from another condolence above he contracted cancer? I'm grateful for the time we spent together - my life is richer for having Ron's friendship. To Suzanne and Justin: Ron was a great guy with a heart of gold who loved life and those around him.
Ronnie
Ronnie and his family has been a Parkesburg Ficture for many years. My symaphoty goes out to his family. Ronnie always had a simle on his face. He will be missed.
My family and I had the
My family and I had the pleasure of being friends and neighbors of Ronnie's for many years. I will always remember him walking up the alley and doing his "fire whistle" at us and saying "What it is!". I remember the day that Justin was born and how proud Ronnie was. It is that smile that I will remember. Ronnie may you be at peace now. Time to fire up the grill for the big man. Suzanne and Justin- hold on to each other and know that we all care about you. God bless you both.
Ron was a very close friend
Ron was a very close friend to my dad Quintin Canale and I. I have know him my whole life and he would do anything for anyone.

I know now that he is not in anymore pain and that he is in a better place.I love and miss you Ron.Ill never forget you

I was so sorry to learn this morning of the death of Ronnie. I will pray that your strength and faith will take you through this difficult journey ahead that you will be facing. My heart and prayers will be with you. I remember all the times that we got together when my parents, Bill and Faye Welsch, used to have fun times with you and Leon.

Sympathy
I was sad to hear that Ron had passed away. I had no idea. I'm disappointed with my family that they did not tell me back in July when it happened. Ron & Leon were both really great men, and they will be missed. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
