The Civiello Family has been friends with Ron for many, many years. As a musician, I have had the privilege of working with such a great talent. If I could say anything to Ron it would be to tell him that all our fallen musicians will be waiting for him to join the band. God Bless!

I was very sorry to see that Mr Haskins had passed. He was my English teacher at Clovis High School in the mid 1960's. I knew he played in band and when I got older I would go to a little bar on Clinton and Shields Avenue and dance away my youthful problems to his band. I have many happy memories from his class and his music. Blessings to his family .
