I did not have the pleasure of meeting Ron. I want to express my condolences to the family
but especially to (my former classmate) Deb. It is difficult to say goodbye to any friend or family member, but our parents
hold a special place in our hearts. Take good care of yourselves as I am sure that he would have wanted.
