    Jan, sorry to hear about Ron’s passing. I always enjoyed picking him up to go to the Coon creek Hunt Club meetings. On the way there, we would talk about our families. On the way home, we would solve all the worlds problems. I will miss him.

    To The Entire Collier Family, Mrs Collier, Ross and all the kids, -From and on Behalf of Jerry&Audrey Trabbic and Family. We extend our heartfelt sympathies with fond memories of a good man your husband, father and grandfather was. I let Jerry know the other day about Ron’s passing and he told me about the early Whirlpool days when they used to cut each other’s hair to save a little money.

    May God Bless,
