I knew Kathy from church before they married. Many years ago when his & my children were young, they came over & went around my neighborhood of Beachwood for Halloween. Kent & I visited them in their home on the westside. When Kathy died, I didn´t hear from Ron very much. He was riding across country then.
Loved them both!

My sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Hollis. He was my science teacher at Orchard Elementary School during the 1960s. He often entrusted the care of his rabbit, Pinky, to my family during the summer months since he knew we bred and raised domestic rabbits. What a wonderful man and excellent teacher.

Ron was the Best Big Brother a guy to have. He was a mentor, sounding board, inspiration. Guess I took Ron for granted as he always gave more than I ever gave back. Thanks Ron and I'm recalling all our memories and great times. Give Kathy a hug for me BBR. LOVE you always, lb. and Thanks for all the photos and mail. I miss you.

Ron was a good friend of ours from Westlake REC Center when we lived in Westlake, OH. We were always amazed of his accomplishments in life and of course, his "Cherry" Miata.

I remember Ron as a good friend to my Dad. I got the privilege to ride in Ron's Miata sports car and heard legendary stories of the dynamic duo. Wishing Ron's family healing.
