It is an honor to call Ron a friend. A kind, friendly face was his hallmark.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Ron's passing. I've known Ron since the good old Hughes Air West days. He was always the epitome of a nice person and consummate gentleman. Now we all have a guardian pilot watching over us. Godspeed Ron. You will be missed.
