Not sure what to say?

Coach, Peterson, Thank you! only now Ron knows the completely powerful impact that he had on impacting my life in a critical and Powerful way. Thank you for trapping me into playing at Yuba, at the time I never knew what God had in mind for me. In addition to great experience and growth playing two years for Ron.... I met my bride and mother of Kaityln and Dane attending Yuba College. What a blessing.

I was a youngster or 16 years when I became full time student at Yuba College fall of 1988. His knowledge and enthusiasm shaped more than my body, or shaped my outlook on the future. I gained strength(s) then, that I still have today.

Ahhh... Coach P!!! You were an amazing neighbor and friend!! My boys will forever remember your Halloween dragon and how you `took a knee´ to talk to them eye to eye! I personally will be forever grateful for his kindness and humor!! RIP Coach

I am sure going to miss Ron. We spent many hours together riding our motorcycles on long trips plus many hours in the air in the Cessna 172. Ron was a great friend that we all will miss. I drove down from our home in Shelton, WA to attend his Celebration of Life. It was wonderful hearing about his life and how he had an influence on so many. RIP good buddy.

So sorry to hear of Ron's passing. I worked with Ron at Yuba College for many years. RIP my friend Shirley, retired

I'm so sorry for your lost.

Sorry to hear about Ron, I remember him fondly from when he was at Yuba College. Friendly and upbeat with always time to chat . He will be truly missed.

I'm sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Our little motorcycle group used to go to dinners on Friday nights in years past. He always had a joke. We always got to hear about Chris and football. Nice, friendly guy. My deepest sympathies

Heartfelt condolences .I first met Ron in 1963 we were teammates one season and friends ever since . Hope Ron and Bill Kuhlman are enjoying meeting up again !
