Uncle Snooky was a wonderful man. He was intelligent, fun and energetic. He could outrun me; and, I ran track! We were touring DC and we heard an annoucement that Vice President Bush was going to speak. He took off running and I couldn't catch him. I also witnessed him making a homerun which he was proud. Our family was very lucky that he brought Aunt Sandy into our lives. I love you Uncle Snooky. Denise

Uncle Snooky was a wonderful person. He was smart, fun and energetic. He was 26 years older and he could outrun me. We were touring DC and we heard Vice President Bush Sr. being welcomed to speak. He took off and I couldn't catch him; and, I ran track! Also, I witnessed a homerun which he was so proud. We are so lucky that he brought Aunt Sandy into our lives. I love you Uncle Snooky, Denise

Ron was a truly fascinating person whose interests were boundless. He was a great observer of the human condition. The world was better for his all too brief presence.
