Not sure what to say?

So very Saddened we just found out he had passed. My family and I pass our thought and prayers to you. My mom always talked about Ron with a smile and a laugh. She always tells her the store of Ron starting in the Garage and the garbage can. That I think is plate gold now.
We go back on the Caflisch relation side. We always Enjoying the Christmas cards and photos. Also watching Stirling grow through the photos every year. He was a very good man and will be missed

Many of my fondest memories are adventures with Ron. Cannes Film Festival,Indy Car Races ,celebrity ski events and pageants and parties. Always generous and when walking down the street Ron gave to the homeless. A great business partner and a friendship Thanks for everything. Sorry I did not get a chance to say good bye. Have many photos and memories. Mahalo

I was so shocked to hear of the death of my dear classmate, Ronnie, high school class of '58 from Asheville, NC. May the "Flights of Angels carry you to your rest", dear friend.

I just about Ron passing today. I´m so sorry hear this. I visited Ron last November just before Thanksgiving, and his health was not good then. I have been Ron since 1972 , and most recently as a distributor for HavanaSun. Ron provided me with the opportunity to make an exceptional living, My daughter Danielle was a Miss Hawaiian Tropic winner several times. We both feel so bad that we weren´t able to come to his funeral. He was a great friend a truly wonderful man who will be missed by all...

My condolences.

An amazing story and an amazing product. Sincere sympathies to the Rice family and friends, truly sorry for your loss. May God be with you.
