Read MoreRon was the best trivia player I ever knew. He was a great teammate for many years and a really good guy. He is missed. My favorite Fitz answer in the Trivia Bowl was to, "How tall is a Smurf?" Ron may have been the only one in the room to know it was "3 apples high."

Trivia Bowl Champions reunited with their namesake
One of my last memories of Ron will be singing a verse of the theme song to the Patty Duke Show at the 2018 trivia bowl reunion - one of the smartest, kindest, and gentlest people I ever knew and proud to have called him my friend

I had the pleasure of working with Ron at UCCS. He was a gifted writer and a true trivia aficionado. He will be missed.

I have many memories of Ron. One of my favorites was his "little guys" Christmas decorations that he made. It was testament to Ron's creativity to be able to take something ordinary and to make something special.
