Not sure what to say?

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Our deepest condolences. Ron will be greatly missed here by all. He was a great addition when he moved in with us. Thought and prayer for his family. May he soar with angels and watch over you all.

Dearest Lorraine, I just ran across this and want you to know my heart is with you and all of Ron´s family and friends. He sounds like such a wonderful man. I think of you often and wish you, now, peace and wonderful memories. Bless you, friend.

I´ve known Ron since he first opened Books By The Falls and I was one of his very first employees there when there was just a couple of book cases in the front room. Ron was a great friend and colleague and his passing leaves an empty place in my heart. Rest In Peace with the books and angels, Ron.

I am very sorry to hear of Ronald Knox"s passing. I always enjoyed shopping at Books by the Falls.

Rest in peace, Ron

Ron was the gently provocative wit and philosopher in our Genesis group, which he founded. I hold him dear in my heart, having known him for decades. Ron is a treasured friend, not to be forgotten. Polly (5)

Ron was a direct inspiration for my own ongoing book collection and opened my mind to many writers. I have many wonderful memories of working in the past at Books By the Falls, and meeting many interesting people who visited. It was always fun and interesting to talk with him, and amazingly, he knew where everything was in that store! I'm thinking about him now up in that heavenly bookstore with its countless volumes, and wishing peace to all his family.

Rest In peace Ron
