Not sure what to say?

It is sad to think that Ron is no longer here. He was my boss at Hercules. He was a pleasure to work with. I was the second woman who worked in that area at that time. Until then, women were not hired for laboratory work. He was kind, honorable, reasonable and tolerant. Everyone liked him.

I was saddened to read about Ron's passing in the Tribune.

From 1968 to 1978, the Ron DuBois' and the Saito families were "next door" neighbors. The Gert Meyers family and the Betsy Pullman family completed a very close and happy neighborhood in the Chevy Chase subdivision, Holiday, Utah!

It was my privilege to have worked with both Ron and Dixie at Salt Lake County a number of years ago. Both were universally loved and respected and Ron was a great team member in the Meals on Wheels Program. On behalf of many others at the County who mourn his passing we extend our thoughts and prayers to Dixie and family at this time.

Sincerely, Marvin Conrad

Dear Dixie,
We are so sorry for your loss. I was so happy to have met Ron this past summer. I could tell he was an awesome grandpa. We love you and you are in our prayers.
Love,
Cidne, Eric, Samuel, & Nicholas Orchard

We are sad to hear the news about Ron. He was always good to us and a great neighbor. When we were younger he always included me in the baseball games, hockey games and other activities with Jeff, Laurie and Susan, I was always happy to go along and looked forward to it. He will be missed.

My deepest condolences for the loss of Ron. I worked with him many years at Hercules Aerospace. He was always well thought of and enjoyable to be around.
