My goal here is to provide a place where anyone that knew Brother Ron, or knew of him, can post a comment. If you want to write something long, please email me (Fenwick@us2000.org) with your comments.
I will collect the posts and put together the collection and give them to the family.
What Happened?
Brother Ron went flying Tuesday afternoon. When he didn't return by supper, his wife, Kay, called a family near the airport. They found his car but no plane and it was after dark. Brother Ron didn't fly after dark.
The authorities were called but pretty much by the time they started to search, fog rolled in and they had to cease. The calls began to go out to the family, friends, and church members to either come search for him or pray.
My son and I arrived after 3:00 am. It was obvious that there was no sense of urgency. Bob Ritchie was the first person I talked to. "Ronnie found him and he has passed", he said quietly as we hugged.
It appeared to me that half the church was there, standing in a circle and remembering our pastor and friend. Hugging, crying, or just looking shocked.
My thinking is that he probably had a medical emergency and was coming in for a landing. I believe he may have been dead before he crashed.
The one thing we know is that he is now with the Lord that he served so faithfully.
Blessings, Joe Crawford
