Thanks so much for sharing your memories of Ron with us. I was fortunate enough to meet Ron in his prime. You should know he continued to play throughout his retirement, horseback riding, golf and giving me a hard time! I do miss him, your words help keep his Spirit close by.

Hey Ron,
Had a dream about you the other night.
We were playing horse shoes in the lower part of your property, and I was beating your butt badly. You got so mad at me you kept saying I was cheating. I loved getting you mad when you thought you were right. Argue, argue, trying to prove you were right. Thats ok now.
Towards the last few years I didn't see much of you, but you were always in my thoughts.
Love and miss you

To Ron's Family,
Wow! I was not ready to read about Ron's passing in the Chronicle.
We grew-up in the Parkside neighborhood with about 40 - 50 other kids and yes it gave each of us kids someone to hang out with. We played many games out in the middle of the street. It's what we knew and we had a lot of fun doing just that.
Laughter, teasing and grumbling about the boys cheating on us cause some giggling. Oh my it made it more exciting. As teen's we danced to songs by Elvis, and all...

Ron, when I first met you up at Kurt's, I thought to myself, "Who the hell is this guy?" The more I was around you the more you grew on me. I think you were really surprised when I spoke up for myself. We laughed, we argued, we got tipsy together. I'm really glad I met you. My heart goes out to you and your family. Enjoy those golfing games in the clouds.

Some people come into our lives, leaves footprints on our hearts and we are never the same.
May your memories give you peace and comfort.
