THE WALL OF FACES

thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Rest in eternal peace.

CAPT Ronald A. "Ron" Ashe is buried in Section N, lot 22 CD, Grave 2 of the Mount Saint Peter Catholic Cemetery in Derby, CT.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Almost four years ago, the Ansonia High School Class of 1964, in it's 50 year class reunion, remembered Ron as a departed classmate.
Some 55 years ago Ron was elected Senior Class President of our class. I played end while he played center on the football team. Always full of spirit, he was an inspiration to me then and atill is today.
Rest in peace but but not forgotten.

Ron was a High School and Elementary school classmate. As others have said a genuinely nice person. Sad to think a whole lifetime has gone by since 1972, RIP old friend,
