When Ron and I worked together at AFOTEC, my day would always get off to a great start when Ron walked in my office with his great smile a a "Good Morning". A great friend and superb officer. I miss him. Hope Rhoda is doing well.

Rhonda...my deepest sympathy for you and your family during this time. During the years we were serving in the AF together at Camp New Amsterdam, his wit, wisdom and dedication to family and country were indicators of the larger service yet to come in his life and career. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was very sad to learn of Ron's passing. Ron and I had a great relationship . He was on of the great Air Force guys ! We will be out of town visiting grand kids this week-end and am very sorry that we will miss the services. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. I plan to make a donation to the Wounded Warriors in his name.
