We were very sad to learn of Ron’s passing. Growing up with the Saporito family was a real honor. Ron was always pleasant to be around, and we always enjoyed watching him fly over at Olean airport every July when S.T.A.R.S had their annual fly there. Ron was second to none when it came to building planes. Rest in peace Ron

We were so sad to hear of Ron’s passing. He and Mona were friends and co-neighbors at the Warren County fair for 10 years in the green building. We ran into them at the Peppermill about a year ago before Covid hit, so unfortunately, we haven’t seen them since then.
Our sincere condolences to Mona and family in this sad time. Wish we could give you a big hug, but have to settle for a virtual one.
