  1. My dad, Ron Courtney will be mist by my family, Becky and I, his grandchildren, great grandchildren and also his great-great grandson. In 1972 he stepped (full time) into my life by marrying my mother Marsha Courtney and becoming my father after losing my first father by his death in 1969.
    Dad was a loving and caring father to me even though I was turning 16 when marring mom, he treated me like I was his own child, and for that I’ll always love him.
