I remember Ron when he looked exactly as he does in this picture! Many times I sat in the Delco SDA church, marveling at his abilities on the piano. He was friends with my uncle, Howard McClellan, and once treated me to a short ride on his motorcycle, while I was visiting Delco. He was a fine gentleman & we were all proud to call him our friend.

Ronnie was a dear friend to us in Delco. I appreciated listening to him play piano, his friendliness and big smile. May God be with you all.
