Ronald Van Pool

A classmate from St. Emydius...Ron, thank you for all your years of service (SFFD).

Ron. I just found out the news today from a friend of yours at Pete's. :( I held back my tears until I reached my car. I had been wondering where you were, and had assumed you were up at Shasta, enjoying beautiful weather. I was looking forward to talking to you about Big Foot! ;) I greatly enjoyed all of our random conversations at Petes and I looked forward to seeing you there before I went to work early on the weekends. I miss you. I know you are enjoying Heaven already. I look...

Classmate and Miraloma Park buddy, from the mid-sixties, your efforts will be missed. RJ Matlock...Riordan '67

I've not spoken to Ron since High School but I remember him as a level headed and focused individual. While it does not seem that long ago, I regret losing contact over the years.

Ron was a good friend and a good Firefighter. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I was a teammate and classmate with Ron at Riordan. A fine young man back then who obviously developed into a better man as time went on. When I think of Ron, I smile, he had what I call an impish sense of humor. I am so sorry for his passing.

My buddy Ron was a good friend, I was his guardian angel. He loved his dogs and had a passion for fancy cars. May he rest in peace.

My sincere condolences
