My condolences to Mark and his entire family. Ron was someone very special and I know he will be missed every day!

  13. To The Entire Morin Family,
    Ron’s passing is a great loss. We became friends with Ron and Lisa thirty years ago when he first worked on our home. He was such a good craftsman, there was nothing he couldn’t accomplish. In 2014, while he was battling cancer, he worked in our home again. It was a pleasure to have him work with us. Ron enjoyed and lived each day as if life would go on forever, knowing that it would not. He was an inspiration to us all, and we will miss him greatly.
