I am so sorry to hear of Rons passing. My condolences to the family. Ron and I played in band together. He also played sports and I was a cheerleader. Ron was a sweet person. His laugh was unique. He had a way of making you laugh. I will truly miss him and I am so sorry again for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Reed's death. He was my 7th grade science teacher at Homer Junior High 30 years ago. I still remember his quiet disposition, his kindness and his respect for the environment. He made such a difference in the lives of so many.

In this time of sorrow, may these promises from the Bible comfort and support Mr. Reed's dear family and friends. Jehovah God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. And he will wipe away the tears from all faces. Psalms 34:18; Isaiah 25:8 NWT. Peace be with you.

Ron will be missed my many but what a beautiful legacy he has left for his wife, daughter, family and friends RIP Ron God has another angel.

My heart is so sad to hear of the passing of Ron, I knew him so well growing up in Newton Falls NY.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Mr. Reed's family. Mr. Reed will always be a teacher that I will remember as one who helped me understand the subject matter in a way that worked for me. I was able to hold study sessions in college using his study methods. Please know he will always be remembered by me as an exceptional teacher and person. God Bless.

My condolences to the Reed family. Ron was a teacher in Canton, NY and my son Derek was one of his students. Ron's brother Rick may remember that he and I coached Pee Wee baseball together, also in Canton. Our thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.

Donna & Lauren my deepest sympathies, Ron and I always had so much joy when we see each other. It could be at Bear Swamp or even in the grocery store sharing about his latest adventure as well as the family he loved. As coaches we spent some time together. And our conversations were always uplifting and high spirited. Ron always brought a sense of enthusiasm and energy to me as a total person. I loved his friendship and whenever we would meet up unexpectedly my wife would patiently understand these guys are going to connect more than just a few minutes. We shared so much in common but i don't think anyone could touch the joy just your smile brought to those who knew and loved you.

I am so sorry. I was so appreciative of Ron's effort in finding me a Monarch caterpillar for my classroom years ago when you lived near Potsdam. He was a thoughtful and caring person and educator who went above and beyond in many ways.

Dear Barb, Melanie and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. What a special man Ron was. I can feel your pain, I lost my brother Cary 2 years ago unexpectedly, and I still miss him so. He and Rick shared their birthday of July 24, but my brother was born in 1957. I hope they are both in Heaven at peace and enjoying each other. Please know you are all in my prayers.

I am without air or words and hard pressed to think of a friendlier, gentle person. He was truly an amazing human being with a constant smile, soft voice and deep passion for Mother Earth and all of the beautiful wonders it has to offer us - Ron being one of them. My heartfelt sympathies go to his family.
