Ron and I were friends in high school and had many good times together. The band trip to Miami in our senior year, and weekend ski trips to western Michigan are just a few of my fondest memories of Ron. I heard from Frank Schwartz at our 50th reunion of Ron's illness. I regret that I wasn't able to talk with him before he passed. My prayers go out to Ron and the family that he left behind.

Ron has been a good friend for over 50 years. Sailing and water skiing togeather, I learned a lot from Ron about life. I feel a piece of my life has passed on. I hope for the best for Ruth and the kids, even though it can never be the same without Ron.

Goodbye and Godspeed to a great friend and fellow Wolverine. Ron and I shared a fun office in the old Melting office under Andy Sperr and once flew in a private plane to a game in Ann Arbor(we won!) My prayers go out to the family

Deepest Sympothies for the entire Bellaire family. Ron & I "fought the good fight" at Kodak for a number of years prior to his retirement. His infectious smile and laugh will always remain with me. May this gentle, happy man's soul find peace and comfort with the Lord.

Ron was one of the funniest guys I ever knew at Kodak, and one of my best friends.....we shared an office in the early 1980s and were co-conspirators in numerous pranks, which I can't go into here!......he was one of the small fraternity of crazy sailors and he loved the water and all things boat....he will be missed, and the world is poorer without his ready wit and sarcasm....

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I have many wonderful memories of Ron from Pultneyville. His laugh was contagious and even on a cloudy day he would make the sun shine with his wonderful sense of humor. He will be greatly missed.

Ron was a prince that will be missed. We have been neghbors for 40 years as well as working at Kodak.
One could not find a better neighbor anywhere.
It is good he will no longer have to suffer. I am sure Ruth and the rest of his family can take comfort in knowing they will see him again after this life. Goodby dear friend.
