Donna and I are so sorry for your loss. Ron and you were great friends. When IU basketball returns to greatness, it won't be the same without having Ron to share.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of our families spending time together. Pam and Doug, I know it's been a long time, but I still really enjoyed our shenanigans. Spending time with you and your parents will always be in my memories! Debbie, I still have a gold butterfly necklace you and Ron gave me at my confirmation. I plan on passing it to my daughter when the time is right. Thank you for such wonderful memories. My heart hurts for your loss.

So sorry for your loss. I have such great memories of Mr. and Mrs. Reinking, Pam and Doug and all of the fun we had with my parents. Ron passed a week after my mother died. Very sad when you lose your parents. Thinking of you all.

I was very sorry to see this and remembered the times I spent talking (sometimes politics) and laughing with Ron at his office at 509 W Washington in downtown Fort Wayne. I considered it an honor to work with he and Deb in the sale of that historic property, which had been previously owned by Sion Bass. Ron took great pride in maintaining that historic building. He will be missed! - Paul Martin

Words can't express the loss we feel with Ron's passing. A very "real" person who expressed his knowledge, loyalty and friendship to everyone. A KDR that guided me thru college...one who stood for everything good. We will truly miss him.
