Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of Ron's passing. A true gentleman and a good friend during our time together at RRNA. Kindest wishes to his family.

Very sad news, Ron was the true meaning of the word Gentleman and will be sadly missed by all.Met Ron in Palmdale in 1970 when I first came to the States and have kept in constant contact with him for the past 54 years, what a great guy !! All the best to Margaret, Juanita and Gil during this very sad time.

Made a donation sponsored by the Fisher family on Ron´s behalf to the Franklin Auto Museum. I first met Ron when I was in college when he and Gil helped me change the engine in my mustang. What a patient and wonderful person. Ron will be very missed!

Ron, was one of the kindest most inspirational leaders at Rolls-Royce when I joined product support in the early 1980´s. I remember his visits to Derby, his good humour, enthusiasm and a genuine willingness to share his experience at all levels within the team. In later years his regular visits to UK as part of the RR Service Reps Association were always appreciated. Such a super individual and part of the bedrock of Rolls-Royce leaders during a very difficult business period in that...

Ron made it impossible for the managers I had after him, none could measure up. Ron hired me in 75 and posted me to Palmdale for the L1011 program, what a blast. He once had to counsel me and it was like being wiped with a wet noodle although I knew he was very serious. He will be greatly missed by many.

I have the fondest of memories of my contact with Ron during my time in Atlanta. Ron was always a pleasure to deal with and my thoughts and prayers are with his family at this sad time. Kind regards, Darrell Hinder

Really sorry to hear this news. Ron was very helpful to me in my career, with advice and mentorship. He had the air of a statesman but was always very approachable and friendly, he was an absolute gentleman RIP Ron Mike Tuohy

Ron was one of the kindest men I ever met. He was a wonderful father to Juanita and Gil and a beloved friend to so many who will remember his upbeat attitude, his sweet smile, and the Scottish lilt in his voice, for as long as we live.
