Ronald J. Real

I worked with Ron in the early 1980s on his newsletter covering minor league football. He had a great vision, and always thought of the players first. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Ron Real had a vision and went out to put that vision into realality. He will be missed. God Bless him.

Thanks Mr. Real for sharing your passion and vision with all us. May you rest in space.

I just recently heard of Ron's passing away. I met Ron when I got inducted into the Semi-Pro Hall of Fame in 2006. He has done great things for the AFA. My prayers go to his wife and family.
