Ron was an inspiration to thousands of young people and directly responsible for many of them being able to pursue a college education. Much more than an educator, Ron helped people see the great potential they had within themselves and helped them to tap into that potential to make great things happen. He worked tirelessly to encourage the very young to reach for the stars and never let anyone tell them they could not achieve their dreams.
