Not sure what to say?

Ron, we always had a great time together when we were on an op or an exercise. You were truly a Marines Marine! We learned a lot from each other. You will greatly missed from all that knew you. I will see you in Heaven and we can continue to exchange our times we had together. Thanks for the memories! RIP MARINE!

I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He was a stalwart Marine, a damn good friend. I'll not forget getting ready to jump. He had the biggest grin on his face. My given name is Billy. I preferred Bill. Ha not Ron he found out it ribbed me. I wasn't Bill, Gunny, Warrant Officer. I was Billy. You know you have a true friend when he takes the time to know all about you. I will miss you Brother. Semper Fidelis. Fair winds.

Fort McCoy, Norway, Cherry Point, Sarajevo, Camp Lejeune--we had a LOT of good times and I will always remember some damn funny stories. I'm glad we connected these past few years to talk about the old days. You are missed. Semper Fidelis!

Fair winds and following seas my brother and friend. SF Tim

Fond memories. Great Marine. Excellent human being. Taken too soon. RIP brother!

Ron, I'll always remember your cheerfulness and professionalism, brother Marine. Keep those streets up there clear until the rest of us finally join you, Leatherneck! Semper Fidelis! It's now your turn to rest with the other heros!
