June 25, 2013
Dad, we spread your ashes on Lookout Mountain on your birthday Saturday. You have a great view of Denver. Now you're nourishing the trees, just as you did countless listeners and students. I hope you can hear wind rustling in branches and birds singing.
I love you infinitely, Bestist Daddy ever!!!

I am so blessed to have had my Father in my life for as long as I did. I cherish the memories and miss his smile and sense of humor and so many other wonderful contributions he made in this life.

My wife and I took clarinet lessons with Ron some years back. Ron was a wonderful teacher and a good friend. Ron had a great positive influence on so many young musicians,and older ones like me, too. I will always remember his kindness and humor, and think of him often.
My deepest sympathy to his family.

I worked with Ron in the 80s with the Colo Ballet orchestra-- and guest conducted him a few times after that-- he was wonderful to work with and was a kind friend.
