Not sure what to say?

I knew Ronnie yrs after highschool. I knew he would always give his heart and soul to the medical field. He was a kind good person. I know alot of people will miss him. I would love to see the statue of him.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your kind words and condolences. Each one of you who have taken the time to pay your respects to my father have literally given our family the strength to move forward. Somehow hearing what he meant to so many has brought us such peace during this sad time. I recognize many of the names here and I know my father was proud to be able to have friends such as you.

My sympathy and condolences in the loss of Ron Anderson --- an immeasurable loss to Dallas and public health. He was a giant of our time and of service. A man of character and principle, I was privileged to work beside him in the community, admiring and appreciating him. I will miss him.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to make life better for many.

May the Lord give the Dr. Ron Anderson family and Parkland family and friends peace during this time of loss.

I started at Parkland as a new nurse the same year Dr Anderson took over Parkland 1982. Much like a general leading the troops, I was so proud to be a member of the Anderson army .
Against illness, injury, we took all comers. Parkland was and is the "Heart Beat of Dallas. I know God has more issues he needs your help with sir. You'll be so missed here on earth. Thank you for teaching us to love our fellow man.

Rest now my friend. You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you kept the faith.

Ron, May God bless your soul and bring peace and comfort to your family. Thank you for your friendship. You were a true asset to Dallas and the medical profession.
