I am honored to work with Ronnie Mescheau's daughter Donna. She has always expressed her deep love of family and it shows in everything she says and does. That deep and abiding love was surely instilled by her dear mother Rose and her dear, late father Ronnie. His legacy will live on in his family and the love and remembrance they have for him will go on and on. Please accept my sincere condolences and loving friendship during these sad days.

I was so sorry to hear about Ron's passing; unfortunately I never had the good fortune of getting to know him. I met him once at Adam & Laura's wedding but after reading all the touching tributes written by family and friends, the true impact of my loss has hit me. Our meeting will have to wait until I, too, am in Heaven to really get to know this magnificent man who was so family oriented and so full of love for each and every one of them. And you, dear Rose, took such good care of your dear husband so that he could enjoy many wonderful years with all of you. All that he was, shines forth in all of you, and will live on 'till the end of time.

Hey Bampy, Just wanted to say I love you so much and I miss you dearly. One sweet day I will see you at the pearly gates, and I would like to go down back for some father and son time...so don't split all the wood g'all darn-it! Thank you for all the life lessons you've instilled in me. Family is first above all, honor thy mother/thy father, respect, and work ethic...just a few of many. You were my definition of a man. A complete role-model for how to live life. Constant like the north star. My rock. Thank you for being a wonderful husband to nanny, an extraordinary father to my dad, Gary, and Aunt Donna, and most of all an amazing Bampy to us grandson's. Thank you for bringing us all together, "There is nothing better than family." "This family, Our family" Lastly, I would like to tell you that everyone is doing all right and with your passing everyone has come together and it' been so nice. It's been hard, but easier to go through this having the family you created around me. So, I thank you from the bottom of my parent's heart, from the bottom of my brother's heart, and I thank you from my bottom too! <3 Love, Ben XOXOXO

Rose, Gary and Donna: I was shocked when I saw Ron's death notice in the ledger today. I have been thinking of all the hundreds of things he did while I was the manager at Jacobs Pond to help me and advise me. He would come in the office every day on his way to the trash room and go through my candy basket looking for his favorite candies, and would let me know when I was running low of his favorites. Rose, you both helped me moved to Northpointe and then to Barker Square. You and Ron were the most generous and giving people I ever met. If it was not cooking, cleaning, planting flowers, it was solving problems at JPE. You both were always there to help. JPE will not be the same without Ron. I know, first hand, what a great Bampy he was. Oh, he idolized all his grandsons and talked about them all the time. Gary and Donna, how proud he was of you. I used to tell Ron he was the "Mayor of Norwell". He was born there, grew up there and raised his family there and he knew everyone and HE was respected by every one who knew him. I will miss him. Love, Maureen

Sincere condolences on behalf of the Mueller and Glynn families. I have vivid memories of Fourth of July celebrations at the Mesheau's with the close knit Norwell Little League group of friends. We were thrilled when Pete Smellie would set off his miniature cannon. The real fun was when Ronnie would pull out the guitar and conduct a sing along. If we were lucky Rose would make her famous american chop suey. Wonderful times with wonderful people, unforgettable memories.
