Ronald Ross Gentile
Ron Gentile lived an extraordinary life, touching the lives of many people across the world. This past summer, friends and family were so fortunate to be with Ron during his extended leave from his home and work in Gweru, Zimbabwe. Always ready to be in the company of people, he enjoyed the gathering of old friends. We will always treasure his stories, his laughter and his friendship.
