As a survivor of the USS LIBERTY tragedy, I share a great deal of the horrific memories Ron and the rest of us have been living with for the past 52 plus years. It saddens me that Ron has passed before we were able to accomplish one of our principle goals which was to have Congress investigate the attack on our ship. God Bless the family and God welcome our shipmate Ron into his heavenly arms.

Uncle Ronnie I will miss you so much. I remember when you came to see me when I lived in Florida and you took me and Mommom Trader out to Red lobster and I was cracking my lobster and a piece of shell flew up in the air and landed right in your drink. We laughed for a long time about it. I will always carry the memories we shared in my heart.
