Ronald Ray ALEXANDER

Ron was my neighbor in South Carolina and he was best friends with my husband (John Mower). Ron was one of the best people I´ve ever known. I hope you have many wonderful memories of Ron. He will always be missed! Linda Bull

Ron was my neighbor and friend. He was one of the best men I ever new.

When I was at Indiana University, Ronnie was the highest ranking cadet. I could hardly keep a straight face when he walked by at our ROTC review. May you fly above the clouds. Your 82nd Airborne Division cousin. Bobby

Ron was my neighbor (in Summerville). He was my friend (when my husband (John Mower) died in Vietnam. He was a good person all the time!

Ron was a good man. He was always interested in others. He was a great friend to my husband, John Wayne Mower, who was killed in Vietnam. He was a friend to me also. He was caring and thoughtful in our phone conversations. Ron planned to come to Fort Worth so we could meet and talk about our memories of John. I wish that could of happened.

Ron was my next door neighbor in Summerville, S. Carolina. My husband (John Mower) and Ron were close friends. They both were stationed at Charleston Air Force Base before leaving for Vietnam. I remember Ron as being kind, thoughtful and especially caring when John was shot down. We stayed in contact through the years. He had many nice things to say about John.
Ron will always be remembered and loved.

Ronnie,
Remember the fond memories when I was a kid staying at your mom and dad's house. Your cousin, Bobby

Ron Was a good man, and I especially enjoyed his love of flying. He always inspired me to do good things. I'm only a ten year old though, And I always went to his airport. He was a really nice guy.

The absolute high point of Ron's life is well summarized in the EAA VINTAGE airplane magazine pg. 16: "Somewhere along the way, aviation, and much of the world, decided safety was better than freedom; security was better than living. The day that memo was released Ron was out flying some old plane. He never got it. Moreover, I believe that may very well be what I believe to be his high point." An absolute proof by example that freedom to do what you want always reigns over safety.
