I just learned of Ron’s passing, and I am deeply saddened. Ron was always such a wonderful, out-going, man- a gentleman I should say. Our community has lost such an important part of the fabric of our lives. He always seemed to find a way to lift my spirits, by his kindness and his smile. I. we, are all so lucky to have known him. Rest in Peace, Ron.
