Out thoughts and prayers go out to the Marking family. I met your dad at Merryland Roller Rink. He loved roller skating and meeting new people. He enjoyed going to competitions in the region and was always willing to learn more. I flew back and forth everyday for many years with him to work trading stories of skating. I learn so much from your dad who was admired by his fellow workers. He is will be missed by us all. He is in a better place now soaring through the skies watching over all spreading joy.

I had worked with Ron at the Caterina Benincasa Monastery Giftshop. He had some of the most interesting stories to tell, but I most admired the zeal he showed for his faith. Keeping you in my prayers,
