Ron was a very special friend who constantly provided me inspiration to “do better.” Kind and thoughtful – always treated others with dignity and respect. I will miss you every day brother.

My Beautiful cousin Ronnie,
You were a bright light in all our lives and will be truly missed.
Heaven is lucky to have you.
I handled Ron’s business insurance for probably the last 24 years. Just talked to him last week. He was always good for providing me a joke during each conversation … clean or dirty it didn’t matter! So sorry for your loss Jennifer. And yes Olivia was the light of his life. He talked so proudly of her!
So very sorry to hear this. Our deepest condolences to Ron’s family.
My brother was always there for you! He was my brother and my friend! I know god has him in his arms and he is in a better place! I love u brother and I will see u again some day in heaven.
Love u !
He was a gentleman, a kind man, and a funny man. He was a devoted husband and father. He will live on through our wonderful memories of him. Words that come to mind when I think of Ron are, patient, Italian chef, witty, smart, and generous. You were loved and will be missed by all.
Jennifer, Olivia and Family – sending you our deepest sympathies at this most difficult time, we hope each day gets a little better. Ron is a wonderful person and we are so glad to know him, his personality is one of a kind, a really great person. He will be missed.
our prayers are with you……Dan Taylor, Rona Longo and DTI Team
Jennifer, wishing you and your family the deepest condolences in your loss. I hope that you may find some solace in the many memories of Ron’s life and accomplishments.
Ron,best brother in law ever,what a super guy,helped everyone,would give the shirt of his back,funny as well you know,always made everyone laugh,we truly lost a special person,love you Buddy….
Ron was a very good man who loved God and his family. His wallpaper of photos in his office of his daughter, Olivia certanily made us other Dads look bad. Our last conversation was just a week ago as he drove to watch her in Grove City. Being freinds with Ron for 30 Plus years had it share of hard work and lots of laughs. My deepest sympothy the Tarquinio Family and his Real Estate Partner Lynn. My prayers are with your family at this most difficult time.
A true gentleman and caring individual. He will be missed but not forgotten.
Best son-in-law in the world! He treated my daughter and granddaughter better than anyone could have. He was the most generous, caring man to everyone. He is so loved and will be missed ever day! He would call just to tell me a joke. So blessed to have had him in our family.
Jen’s mom, Kathy
Deepest condolences Jennifer and Olivia on the passing of ur husband and dad. We pray for his soul and for u
A fun, caring, generous friend, we are reminiscing on all the wonderful memories with Ron. From his “no big deal” laid back approach to facing challenges, to his singing of “Happy Birthday” in his trademark singing voice, to dropping everything to help someone in need. He left such an impactful mark on this Earth. His girls were his life, pride, and joy. Sending our deepest condolences, Jen and Livie.
“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”-Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to you in this time. There is no greater sadness then grief. There are no words that can heal this moment. I have a tremendous amount of sorrow for you and Olivia in this time. Know you are not alone, I know there are many around you to love and support you in this time. My heart and prayers and deepest condolences go out to you and your family. Much love and HUGS.
Mr. T as I called him was one of the most caring and generous individuals I have ever met. He was a Godly man who would help anyone in need, a perfect father and husband who lit up the room with his love for his daughter when he spoke about her. Ron’s passion for life was contagious, just being near him, or receiving a phone call from him made my day. His family is at a great loss at his passing, but in truth we are all at a loss for him now being in God’s Kingdom. He will live on in all of us that his kindness has touched. And if I get to Heaven I know now it wil most definitely have a beautiful garden to walk thru. And it will be full of laughter and terrific pasta sauce.

I didn’t know Ron well, but the few times I met him, he was such a kind and caring person. Sending condolences to Jen,Olivia and family. My heart aches for you.
I only met him a handful of times but he was always such a kindhearted man. We’re so sorry for your loss Jen and Olivia, you’re in our thoughts.
I was so deeply saddened when I just heard the news last night about Ron’s passing. I worked with him when looking for potential space at River Park Commons for a few of our companies when I worked for UPMC. Ron was SUCH a kind and gentle gentleman. Working with him was such a pleasure. I am so very sorry for your loss.
