What a wonderful, compassionate, loving man. I had Ron as a math teacher way back when. He was an inspiration to me then and continued until his last day! I’m so grateful that I know I will be seeing him again. Love and Prayers to the family!

Dear Plumlee family just wanted to say Coach was a great example of a Godly man. He taught with compassion and a good sense of humor. It’s funny I had been thinking about Coach and what a great guy he was. So thankful to have known him and been a student of his. Remember we say Goodbye to him today but in the not too distant future we will say Hello Ron it’s SO good to see you again! Our future is a bright one.

Judy, Mardelle and I send you our prayers. I enjoyed knowing Ron and enjoyed working with him, while I was on the school board. 🙏🏻
