Read MoreMy name is Lucy and Ronald was my grandpa. He died when I was only two, but I know him through all of the stories I have heard and pictures around my house. I have a picture of him and me on my desk. He bought me a stuffed leopard at a zoo when I was two, and I still have it on my bed at the age of 15. Love you grandpa

I'm so sad to hear about Ronald Fernandez's death. He was someone who encouraged my push to have Caribbean American Heritage Month in 2003. He was present at the first Caribbean American Heritage Month issues summit in 2005 at Hartford City Hall. This community misses him dearly. May he rest in peace. --- Ann Marie Adams, Founder of Caribbean American Heritage Month in June 2003.

A million times I'll need you
A million times I'll cry
If Love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
I love you dad. I miss you every day.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Ron's family at the untimely loss of such a well respected professor. I have many fond memories of Ron as a student at CCSU and a fun Sociology class I was lucky to attend in 1980. He was well liked by the everyone and will be missed by the thousands of students he taught over the years.

My condolences to Ron's family, especially Ben. Ron was a friend of over 30 years. He ecelled at both scholarship and teaching. His values came through in everything he did. He will be sorely missed by the institution, the students who loved him, his friends and colleagues and by the world community. His boundless energy was memorable. I would never has guessed his age.
