"I am a volunteer at the EPI CHOICE program and that is how I met Ron. He was a sweet, friendly guy. I give birthday cards with a dollar inside to the CHOICE people and he would always say "Mail" to me and I would say that I would mail his birthday card to him. He also liked to show me his belts and watches. I will always remember his friendliness and his smile. I will send a donation to EPI CHOICE in Ron's memory. "
In loving memory of
Ronald William Sheriff
