As a young skipper fishing for shrimp out of Squaw Harbor in the late 70's, Ron, my superintendant, sure had many good words of wisdom for me. I can't believe the patience he had. What a great guy.

Such a huge loss. I have many fond memories of Ron playing games of various kinds with my children (Mitch & Carly) and his infectous laugh.....he enjoyed them as much as they did. He will be greatly missed and always "loved". Merisa Tullis (Edmonds)

Ron's easy going style and sense of humor made work seem like play. I feel very fortunate to have known him and will always be in my thoughts.
