Ron Ron    - I ran into a stranger at the Redskins football game that said he
was in law enforcement in DE. I asked if he knew you and Scott, he told me
"everyone in DE law enforcement knows of or knew Ronnie" He went on about how
you were mentioned even today in the schools and training.  I'm sure you and
Grandma are having a great time up in heaven.  I told her to give you a big
hug from me when she saw you. Thank you and Cathy for what you did for Scott.
He's turned into such a wonderful person, a great husband and father.  You
two and your parents were really there for him and I love you guys for that!
I'm so proud of you Ronnie and will always remember your beautiful smile.

Comments: What a beautiful website and such a tribute. I met Mrs. Helen Williams last night, and she told me about the website. I can only imagine how special Ron was to all the lives he touched. His Mother is a beautiful lady and my conversation with her touched my heart. Best regards, Linda Packard

Comments: This is great, Jen and Cathy, you do a wonderful job on this site. It is still so hard to write without feeling the loss and sorrow for a wonderful nephew. They say time heals all wounds, but I say God is the healer and comforter of our hearts and soul and I think Ron would agree with me, if he were here. I look around and see so many of my family that are depriving themselves from the assurance that we have thru this eternal love which has been promised to us, if we accept it. I know Ronnie has for he showed it thru is life here on earth. He never spent a lot of time with his great grandmother, Cora Lee, but somehow he had a lot of her traits for she was a great lady and a big inspiration in my life. I guess that is why he passed on her name to his beautiful daughter. Ronnie and Granny, I know that you must be watching over her and she will feel the peace and love that you have given to so many other people here on this earth. Love Aunt Mary

Comments: A BEND IN THE ROAD WHEN WE FEEL WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE AND WE ARE SURE THAT THE "SONG HAS ENDED"~ WHEN OUR DAY SEEMS OVER AND THE SHADOWS FALL AND THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT HAS DESCENDED, WHERE CAN WE GO TO FIND THE STRENGTH TO VALIANTLY KEEP ON TRYING, WHERE CAN WE FIND THE HAND THAT WILL DRY THE TEARS THAT THE HEART IS CRYING! THERE'S BUT ONE PLACE TO GO AND THAT IS TO GOD AND, DROPPING ALL PRETENSE AND PRIDE, WE CAN POUR OUT OUR PROBLEMS WITHOUT RESTRAINT AND GAIN STRENGTH WITH HIM AT OUR SIDE~ AND TOGETHER WE STAND AT LIFE'S CROSSROADS AND VIEW WHAT WE THINK IS THE END, BUT GOD HAS A MUCH BIGGER VISION AND HE TELLS US IT'S ONLY A BEND~ FOR THE ROAD GOES ON AND IS SMOOTHER, AND THE "PAUSE IN THE SONG" IS A "REST", AND THE PART THAT'S UNSUNG AND UNFINISHED IS THE SWEETEST AND RICHEST AND BEST~ SO REST AND RELAX AND GROW STRONGER, LET GO AND LET GOD SHARE YOUR LOAD, YOUR WORK IS NOT FINISHED OR ENDED YOU'VE JUST COME TO "A BEND IN THE ROAD .

Comments: Well, another year with fond memories of Ronnie still in my heart. I love to tell people "Ronnie" stories at every opportunity. I bought an engraved stone with a beautiful saying that made me think of Ronnie. I will deliver this to his marker when I am in town again. It read: If Tears Could Build A Stairway, And Memories A Lane, I'd Walk Right Up To Heaven And Bring You Home Again" Friends forever, Gary

Comments: It's has been two years today since Ronnie's been gone. The way the time has flown by makes me think that it'll be just like tomorrow when I finally get to see him again. Then again, tomorrow seems like a long time to wait. It's funny the things you miss about a person when they're gone. In the days after Ronnie's death I was so fearful that I would forget him, his laugh, his smile, the sound of his voice, his quick wit, etc. Not that you take these things for granted when they're here it's just that the loss seems so final. However, I can now say when the person is gone the memories do become more poignant over time. Sometimes I hear his laughter in my own chuckle or catch his wit in my son's mischief, or best yet, see the sparkle of his smile in his daughter, Cora's face. These things all remind me that in many ways he is still here, never too far away. He is not gone for good but rather only absent from us temporarily. I even wonder if he misses us more and is anxiously anticipating

Comments: As the 2nd Annual Sinatra night draws near, my mind keeps thinking of Ronnie. I just wanted to take the time to review the Foundations web page, and to remember the great man that Ronnie was. I won't be able to share in the special evening to honor Ron's life/memory, as I will have the extreme pleasure of caring for his niece and nephew so that their mom, his sister Cathy, can be there with you all, reminding you of what Ronnie lived for. Remember him with joy and follow the example he led. May Sinatra night be a success. I love you all. .

Comments: Just wanted to leave a few lines in tribute to Ronnie...a TRUE friend to all he knew. Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance and love have no end. Nations will rise and fall. Wars will be lost and won. Lives will begin and end, but a true friend is eternal. Friends are always friends no matter how far you have to travel back in time. If you have memories together, there is always a piece of your friendship inside your heart." The friendship isn't worth the tears unless the friend is.

Comments: My deepest apologies. Ever since I was a kid I have always had the greatest admiration for policemen (almost became one myself for Coconut Creek). I think the so called sports heroes in this country pale in comparison to anyone who puts on a uniform and puts his life on the line every day. Now I am a collector and love to have something personal from an actual officer: I collect everything from sunglasses (duty worn of course), to ticket books, uniforms, hats, etc etc..even signed photos. I will gladly pay $50 just for a signed photo or maybe a patch. God bless...Scott

Comments: I was friends with Lenny for many years. I only met Ron a few times, but the one time I remember most was when someone intentionally ran over my son's bike and I called the police. Ron was the trooper that responded to that call. He was very nice, and talked to my son, who was about 6 at the time, to make him understand why some people don't treat others with respect. I am very sorry for the loss of the Williams family.

I would like his family to know that he touched many lives both on and off the job. This site is a great tribute to a good cop and a great guy. From all of us at P&P, I offer my sincerest sympathy. He is truly missed. .

Comments: This is such a great tribute to Ron! You really did a great job putting it together. It is strange, I hadn't seen Ron for years...since Elkton days. Even though he was a few years ahead of me in school...I can still remember the sweet, fun, caring person he was in school, the fun we had on our bus trips going to games, etc. When I heard of his death, it really impacted me for some reason. Maybe because I had had recent contact with Len through a mutual friend which had brought me back in touch with your family...had heard about Ron's wedding, the birth of his daughter, etc. I think and pray for your family often. I can't even imagine the pain his death has brought to your family; however, I do know that comfort has come from knowing he is in heaven and you will all see him again some day...as will I and all who loved him and admired him. I didn't know the "recent" Ron and the awesome man he had become, but I do have my memories from high school of him, and it sounds like he got .

Comments: The entire Williams family has weighed heavily on my mind during the past two months of family celebration. Christmas was especially difficult for me this year, as I truly did NOT have the Christmas spirit in me, nor could anything anyone said change my mood or opinion. It took a friend to remind me that while I may be going through a difficult time, there are others that are much worse off, those who don't have Christ in their heart. My friend reminded me to be glad that I can freely celebrate Christmas and the true meaning of it! How humbled I was. You all have continued to be in my prayers. I hope your holidays were blessed. Love you all. .

Comments: Well big cousin we miss you a whole lot!!!! I sometimes wonder why God chose to take you away from us.. But I guess he wanted one of the best to be with him!!! I hope you are in heaven looking down at all of your family and friends and smiling at all of us. Because I know we look up and smile at you. I always knew you were a popular person, every time we were out somewhere whether it be a fire company function or whenever fire personnel and Police officers were in attendence I would always ask "Do you know my cousin Ronnie Williams?" and I was always told you were a wonderful person.But we already knew that anyway. I dont know if Aunt Libby and Uncle Bud ever told you how proud they were to say you were their nephew but they sure were.. I can remember being at your high school graduation, Mom cried almost the whole time. When you completed the DSP academy and we attended that Mom cried the whole time again. We are very proud of all that you have achieved in your life. .

Comments: Although I never had the opportunity to meet Ron, I did have the honor of meeting and spending a day with his parents, Ronald and Helen Williams. I learned a lot about Ron, his family and his work, and came to understand just how he touched so many lives. Thank You, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, and God bless You and your family.

Comments: It has taken me awhile to garner up the courage to write a note to my true friend, but I still carry a heavy heart. Ron was a good friend who could be counted on in any time of need. We shared many laughs and I really miss the pranks that we would play on one another. Zietz, you were a man of honor, a great father and a son whom every parent would love to have. I am so glad that I had that last time out with you the Thursday before your tragic accident. I will forever remember how proud you were to bring your new motorcycle to show me. Rest in peace Brother and I look forward to the day that we can share another toast. To Nicole and the Williams family I would like to thank you for asking me to participate in the wonderful service that would have made Ron so proud. As proud as he was to be a Trooper, I could think of no better way to send him to that special place. Thanks again and please feel free to call on me at any time. Mr. Williams, keep an eye on that time.

And in that time, Ron instilled in me what he exemplified in every facet of his life? Pride to be a Trooper, Dedication to his work, Loyalty to his friends. Our prayers will always be with Nicole, Cora, and Ron?s family. Trooper Forever, Forever a Trooper!

Comments: I met my classmate Nicole, #910, in July of 1995 at orientation day at the Academy as we embarked on our 'careers' with the DSP together. I met Ron 6 1/2 months later as he began training me as a rookie at Troop 6. I will never forget Ron's infectious smile, his calm demeanor as a teacher and his absolute love of the DSP. I learned quickly that Ron would send me home if I failed to show up for work in my boots and breeches, and he taught me what it meant to be a Trooper, which until that time, I'm not sure I realized was somehow different from being a police officer. Ron, #3653 and #3931 will always be 10-8! Nicole, remember that the decision to stay home with Cora Lee is something you should always be proud of. God Bless you both! Jason .

So many times as Holly and I would drive past your exit I would want to stop in but "always too busy". I hate that phrase now! Such a valuable lesson learned here in life about being too busy for the important things in life. Never again. Thanks for putting this tribute together. It has helped me being over here in Turkey knowing I missed out on the funeral. You all are still in my prayers. I WILL STOP BY my next trip up, PROMISE! Love you all, Philip

I know you are proud of the accomplishments he made and of how he lived his life, but better yet, he's looking down, keeping watch over us and he's PROUD of his family. Live your life the way Ronnie did, to the fullest, but with Christ in your heart. I love you all and if you need me, if only to listen or for a favor, I'm here. Cathy ~ a special hug to you ~ you are my dear, beautiful, best friend. I wish I could take some of the pain and carry it for you.

Comments: Thank you for the opportunity to share this web page with you. It is a wonderful tribute to Ronnie. I know he's looking down from heaven with that beautiful smile, that he always wore, and thanking God Who is standing beside him for such a special family who loved him so. Ronnie blessed each life that he touched and there's a different memory in each of our hearts to keep him with us always. I can't begin to imagine the pain that the family is going through, nor can I fathom standing in Nicole's shoes, I admire you all for the strength you've shown through this tragic time. One thing I do know is Because 'He' lives, I can face tomorrow, even though that tomorrow or the next may be my time to come Home, I'm thankful that God sent His son to die on the cross so that I may have the choice to live forever. Ronnie's up there, holding hands with my Grandmother and Father, and they are waiting to open their arms to us, and welcome us home when God's time is right. So take comfort in Ronnie's .

Comments: Ron was a great guy. Many moons ago Ron decided he wanted to work at the beach so he transfered to Troop 7. I don't remember if Ron even work a summer but, I do remember the beach or Troop 7 was not what he thought it was so he went back up north. For many years after that every time I'd see him I would joke with him about not being able to handle the beach Troopers life style. I know Ron could have made it here. He was the kind of guy who learned to adapt. But I think his heart was up north and you have to go where your heart tells you. Ron you are and will be deeply missed. Watch over us all!! .
