Hello All,
It is with great sadness that I have learned of the passing of one of our retired members, Ron Anderson, W9RMA.
Ron was a long time member of the MMSN for as long as I can remember.
Ron retired with 30 years from the Chippewa County Sheriff's Department in Wisconsin having served as the Sheriff of Chippewa County.
We learned of Ron's illness some months ago but Ron wanted to retire from the MMSN without letting others know of his illness. We wanted to respect his wishes.
Please say a prayer for his family and keep them in your thoughts.
As one retired law enforcement officer to another, this particularly hits home for me. Ron was always an easy talk as we had so much in common. He will be missed for sure.
Till we meet again my friend,
"May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand".
