The following photos were graciously provided by the Phillips family and are from the troop's observances of the 5 year anniversary of Ron Parry's death.
Our drum and flag corps assembled at the Phillips home, marching first to Ron's gravesite, where we performed a brief ceremony. Many of the scouts were drumming for the first time.
The wreath on Ron's grave was placed by three scouts (Tyler P, Brian C, and Jonathan H) who were among the last group of Cub Scouts that Ron welcomed to the troop before his death.
While at the gravesite, Patrick K presented Ron with a Sunoco toy car that Ron had given him when he was a child.
We then proceeded to Franklin Pratt's grave for brief remarks by two of his scouts (Mr. Kelley and Mr. O'Connor), and three of Mr. Pratts Eagle scouts (Donald Bulens, George Winter, and Jon O'Connor) placed a wreath on his grave. All three of these men received their Eagle scout together, and paid a wonderful tribute to Mr. Pratts memory.
Thanks to the following scouts for attending the observances
