Ronald D. Bonham

In my generation and as a graduate of Muncie Central, 1968, I have been remembering Ron for the past five years in my novel, "Seeing Beyond the Shadows" (published in March, 2020, and still selling). I first knew about Ron, because his Dad was my excellent, 3rd grade Sunday School teacher, and his Mom was in our choir at Normal City E.U.B. Church. In 1959-60 I went to every home game of the Bearcats, the best high school team I have seen. In the novel, Ron is the inspiration for the main...

This is about the fourth year in a row that I've shared about Ron; it's an honor. I also thought a lot of his dad, Russell Bonham, my third-grade Sunday School teacher. Ron was the main person, who inspired me to play basketball from age 9 to age 43. Ron and his 1960 Muncie Central Bearcat team was the most inspirational experience I've had in sports. I went to every home game in 1959-60; I was nine. They were the best high school team that I've seen and the best I know about. I still...

I want to honor Ron. Some of the comments I have shared before. Ron was a hero and inspiration to me and to a lot of kids my age. I started playing basketball in early elementary, because of Ron's inspiration. He is honored in my novel, "Seeing Beyond the Shadows", which was released in May, 2020. His dad was also inspirational: he was my third grade Sunday School teacher at Normal City E.U.B. I remember his mom singing in the choir. I will say again that the 1960 Bearcat basketball...

Last year I shared that Ron was my inspiration to play basketball. I graduated from Muncie Central in 1968. Ron's dad was my third grade Sunday School teacher. I've been a Celtic's fan, since he joined the team. I believe his Central team with Jim Davis and John Dampier was the best team Indiana has had. I went to every home game during Ron's senior season. I honor Ron in my new novel, "Seeing Beyond the Shadows". The novel is about saving America's traditional values. I write about...

I just read about Ron's passing. He is The Celebrity from Muncie. His dad was my third grade, Sunday School teacher. When I was 10, I saw every game that Ron played at the Muncie field house during his senior year. He inspired me to play and to love the game of basketball.

Sorry to hear that Ron passed away had fun working for him

I remember practicing with the "Originales" at Ron's house. I was the piano player. Still have an old publicity photo of the group.

I will always remember Ron from Muncie Central High School. He always was a heart-throb for all the gals. Even though I was a 1959 grad, I still hold many dear memories of him.

My thoughts are with his family. He will be missed by all his many fans and friends.
