I will always remember looking at all the awesome models Ron made and had on display in his basement. Sometimes when he needed to make room for new ones he would give me one. I tried to build mine as nice as the ones he gave me but was rarely successful. I still have some of them and have passed them on to my son.

He brought a lot of joy to my sister Nancy. They were always doing things together with a special love for Snowqualami Falls and Woodland Park. He had a warm smile and a warm heart.

I too worked with Ron for a long time back in the 70's and 80's. He made deliveries all over Seattle. He was always there when needed. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I am so very sorry to hear this news. I worked with Ron for years and shared fun at the races in Monroe. Always such a dear friend and brightened our day every morning work. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Ron was one of my running mates in high school. Always dependable, always a friend. We spent a lot of time together, smoked ciggys at night, tried to borrow his sister's car, and so much more. I remember a week at the beach with his parents at a cabin... There were always 4 of us, Me, Skip, T-Ray, and Ron. Ron, you are missed.
