I want to extend my prayers and sympathy to the Gehman family at this very sad time. I am so deeply sorry for your great loss. Though I can't know your pain, I know what it means to lose a beloved father. I hope for you the same comfort and peace I have felt over the years through warm memories, beliefs, and the support of family and community. The sorrow you feel for him is an indication and tribute of the wonderful man he was, and how much he has impacted your life and the legacy he has left. I pray you will continue to feel his influence and closeness, as he will always be your father, your husband, your brother, or your friend. Nothing can take away that sacred relationship, the life lessons learned from knowing him, or the love you can continue to share. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you.
God bless you all,
Mindy Johnson
(friend & co-worker of Hannah)

A tribute to Ron, from the Stauffer family*
Love never claims, it ever gives.
-Mohandes Ghandi
When we enjoyed our nation's beautiful vistas with him, he inspired us with his knowledge of nature and respect for the environment. When we enjoyed sports with him, he encouraged us with his grace, athleticism and his passion for fun. When we shared holidays with him, we marveled at his patience in fatherhood and his generous family spirit. Each Spring when the birds return to their quirky houses in our backyards, we'll remember the peaceable carpenter who handcrafted each one.
Throughout his measured life, Ronald Kulp Gehman gave more than he took, listened more than he spoke, and helped wherever he was needed. A skilled amateur photographer, he traveled the United States with his wife and children compiling a body of beautiful images. We'll treasure this view of the world through his creative lens. An avid outdoorsman and adventurer, Ron possessed a perspective on life that made folks want to sit with him and chat for a while.
In a succession of trips through the years, Ron and his family covered the expanse of Route 6, America's longest highway, stretching from Bishop, California, to Provincetown, Massachusetts. Ron drove Route 6, the main thoroughfare past Sartwell Creek and the farmhouse which he renovated and where he resided with his family for 36 years, every day. If, indeed, souls depart this earth for a glorious reunion with the divine – and we believe that they do – then we can imagine Ron comforting the other driver, saying: “Would you look at that view? We can see all of Route 6 from here!�
Ron is deeply loved by his family of birth and his family by marriage and by all of his friends as well as people who met him only once but felt drawn to his spirit. Our hearts are shattered by his death, and that sense of loss is profoundly personal for each one. There's a lot of love among us, but we'll never fill the chasm left by his passing. There can be solace in this, however, if the memories we cherish motivate us to live our lives a little bit more like Ron lived his.
*We will miss him so much: Margaret and Willard Stauffer; Michael, Joan, and Lauren Stauffer; Ronald, Merced, Kristofer and Rose Stauffer; Theresa, Marissa, and Aaron Ziegler and Jessica and Jagger Kretzer; Daniel, Karen, Nicholas, Nathan, and Andrew Stauffer; Kathleen Stauffer and Laurie McElwee; Karen Stauffer

I surely did enjoy the years I spent working with Ron at Witter Gas & Oil and the short time at Sandburg Oil. If only you could see the pride and joy in his face whenever he talked about his family. He showed pride in everything he did actually. I will surely miss him and think of you and him always.
With much sadness in my heart and my deepest symathy to you all
Sincerely
Stephanie Campbell

I just wanted to express my deepest condolences to your family. I only met Ron a few times at church in Roulette when I was younger, but he was one of the nicest people I ever met. I graduated a year after John and Hannah graduated with my sister Tara. I am deeply saddened by this news and will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Know that you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers as you walk this dark valley. I pray you and Jonathan and Hannah, and the family will sense God's presence walking it with you. Your Friend, Annie
