A great shipmate on Seadragon's polar trip. Met him later in PCB when he moved there. Sailor, rest your oar. We have the watch.

My husband, Denny Silvernail (MMCMSS) served with Ron way back at the beginning of his 21 years in the Navy. Hopefully he was there to greet Ron when he arrived in heaven.
My deepest sympathy to his children. He was a wonderful man!

I served with Ron from 1973 until he retired from the Navy.

I was planning to see him during my planned trip to Ft. Walton Beach later this month. He and I...

On behalf of the members of Reading Base, US Submarine Veterans, I wish to express our deepest sympathies to Rons family.
Anyone who knows a Submariner would be aware that theyre a little different, a rather unique breed. I make no arrogant claims as to whether Submariners are better or worse than any other person. I merely point out that being encased within a submerged steel tube which is being stressed nearly to its breaking-point while at the same time being packed with high voltage...
