I just found out about Ron's passing today, when my Christmas card to him was returned undeliverable. Sad news. Ron was a kind, chatty, helpful neighbor on Hillsdale for 12 years. Rest in Peace.

Ron was the best. Great guy. Great neighbor from the time we moved in next door. Helped move my Moms belongings from her old home. A machine of a guy who could work young guys under the table. Always a friendly hello to me and my wife. Tough guy with heart of gold. RIP Ron

My condolences to Ron and his family. My wife and I met Ron when we moved to Medford [Hillsdale Ave] in 2011. He once gave our daughter a small keyboard. She's been playing piano ever since. He was always helpful and a great teller of tales. We have nothing but fond memories. R.I.P [Rise Into Paradise]
