Barb, Vickie and I are truly sorry for your loss, Ron was truly a great person and will be missed. Condolences Thoughts and Prayers
Extending my thoughts and prayers to the entire Trisket family. I remember Mr. Trisket well from my younger days. I was one of those kids who had him as a baseball coach and remember it being a season that included a lot of fun and good times. Later on, he was on my paper route at the Commons Apartments and he was not a light tipper, LOL. What I remember the most though is that all of us kids thought he was a cool guy. Pretty high praise for an adult.
Thank you
