Dear Karen,
My heart is sadden as I read the many messages that echo my thoughts and prayers.The wonderful laughter we shared will forever be in my mind. Please know that cherish you and Ron as contributing to some of my happiest days overseas.

I am saddened to hear of Ron's passing. I, too, was employed by the City of Reno Rec Dept from 1967-1976 and worked with Ron on and off during that time. I have many, many fond memories of such fun times around Moana and Idlewild pools! Definitely a chapter in my lifetime. I remember Ron as a most unforgettable and inspirational man to all.

So many adventures run through my mind from the 50's thru the 70's...from Moana Pool to Idlewild Pool and back to the "new" Moana Pool...before, during and after he lost his arm...his resilience to become the State Champion Springboard Diver to his success with the Reno Recreation Dept and his landscaping business...and his magnificent singing voice...we lost track of each other when he began cavorting about in Europe... Condolences to his family and may you all be blessed by his...

Mike and KC, so sorry to read about your dad. I'm in Reno this week but will be gone next, would have loved to come celebrate with you. Most of my fondest memories growing up were spent with your family. My thoughts are with you.

Karen, so sorry to hear about your loss. Ron was always so active in our school and you guys were such a great team. He will be missed.

We so enjoyed those annual July visits from you two as you came through our drive-thru for coffee, and you followed me to each location! We will remember those times, and the dinner with you at Austin's with fond memories. So sorry to hear of Ron's passing Karen. You & your family are all in our prayers!
