Read MoreI knew Ron when we lived in the same neighborhood in San Antonio. We played golf together and he had the most natural swing. I invited him to play in a tennis tournament and we won. I didn´t realize he was such a great athlete and could play any sport. He never mentioned his time in the NFL unless you brought it up. He was very modest about his achievements. What a great guy and sad to hear he passed.

Debbie, may God bless you and your family It was one of my worse days in hearing about Ron. I thank him many times for coming to Dallas to see my grandson when he had his brain operation. Also, playing golf with him. I knew lots of railroaders in WF that knew him that was one way knowing what he was up too, They all called him COWBOY!

I played with him at Fulton. He was probably the most natural athlete to play at Fulton. Tremendous shooter in basketball and a really good teammate. He was Ray Boles’ boy in youth sports. He will be missed!!
