Dear Shirley and family,
You have the sympathy of Kelly and myself on the passing of Ron. Our families have known each other for years. A few years ago I was visiting my uncle at Eden Meadows. I was talking and I heard a voice from the dining room. He said, "That sounds like Jim Rickert. I love Jim Rickert." That voice was Ron's, who was also staying there at that time. We sat and talked for a long time. Two years ago we bought the land from Condon's that was a part of your farm. I will miss seeing Ron drive the gator to the fields, to check on our progress. I enjoyed talking to you and Ron about last year's Jeopardy champion, James Holzhauer. We wondered how long he could keep winning. Ron will be remembered as a progressive farmer and mentor. He was well respected and will be missed by everyone who knew him. Love, Jim and Kelly Rickert
