My sincere condolences go out to the Hastye family. I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Hastye when my sons were in school. He loved children, especially his students, and it showed. He made a tremendous impact on those who knew and loved him. What you saw was what you got. He was always sincere and unwavering. So glad I got to see him about a year ago. Rest well Mr. Hastye. You've earned it.

For time and space can never divide Or keep your loved one from your side. When memory paints in colors true, the happy hours that belonged to you." --Helen Steiner Rice Let not your hearts be troubled. Ronald is just resting. May the fond memories you've shared as a family forever lives in your heart. Bettie Scott Rice.
