I’m very impacted by Judge’s passing. We have been great friends since grammar school. Even after not seeing each other or talking over the phone for long periods, we always fell back in the same relationship and could talk for hours about our lives, friends, and families. I’ll miss him and his friendship. Believe we will see each other in the afterlife in Heaven.
Such a great cook!
I met Ron when I began working for Ellerbe & Harris in Lovington, New Mexico. I was fortunate to play three rounds of golf with him and his little dog Sheila before she passed on. Ron and I formed a nice friendship, and he will be sorely missed. Sammy Koch
I met Ron through a friend when I needed a place to stay. He didn't know anything about me but agreed to let me stay in his garage apartment. What was supposed to be temporary ended up being a few years. When he would come in from New Mexico, we would sit and catch up. He was a very kind, sweet, caring man who will be missed dearly. RIP Ron
God bless you and your family Ron. Good man, good friend too soon gone!
I met Ron at a HOA meeting. We spent a lot of time working on the HOA board. Sometimes we would stay up until 3 a.m. talking about our families and our past life. He called me a city girl because he was a country boy. We enjoyed doing puzzles together, even though I wasn’t as good as he was. He really enjoyed cooking and I would eat whatever he cooked. He made a great peach cobbler and pecan pie. Ron always made me feel safe wherever we were. I really loved being around him and will miss him dearly.
Ron was a great friend. One of many memories was when I 1st met Ron. We were at a poker game in Midland TX. He introduced himself as Ron Pace. The first words that came out of my mouth was oh, hot and spicy, huh? We have been very good friends ever since Ron you will be missed rest in peace my friend.
Ron was a friend. He’d play dominoes at Bailey’s Auto every day when in town. I went to casino couple times with him, he even let me drive his jeep cherokee srt a few times. RIP Ron
