So sorry to learn about Ron. We knew him for so many years & he was such a lover of cars. As the president of nada it did a lot for all the dealers of Oregon & the country.

I just wanted to send my sympathies to the Tonkin brothers. I remember you & your Dad eating lunch at Foster's Deli, now Joseph's Deli, for the past several years. I always enjoyed serving your Dad lunch & visiting with him & Ed & Brad, too. Thanks for being good neighbors in Gateway & Parkrose.

My wife, Bevery, also sends her condolences and remembers that she and Ron share the same birthday. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
