Still missing you, Ronnie. Youve ruined us for other doctors, because none of them even come close to the level of care and caring you gave your patients. We miss your friendship even more. The world still just doesnt seem right without you in it.

We often think of Ron especially when going to our current physicians...missing his personal touch..knowing the whole family..his sense of humor and caring manner....my brother has yet to find a physician he likes...we can't say how much we miss him.

When my husband and I moved to Lake Forest Park to start a family in the mid 80's, we needed a family doctor. Fortunately, our next door neighbor recommended their family physician, Ron Waltz.

When she was in her last days, he came to the house. He gave her comfort and she hugged him...

Yesterday I called the office and was told about the death of Dr. Waltz. For most of the last 18 years I have been his patient. My deceased wife had also been his patient. My wife passed away in our home from cancer in 2001. Dr. Waltz had come into my home to visit Norma before she passed way. I have countless memories of similiar situations if which Dr. Waltz demonstrated his care, compassion,and humanity.

Dr. Waltz was a brilliant physician and a incredible human being. My...

Ronnie was greatly loved and respected by all who knew him. He was like a father to me, a wonderful friend, and a talented, caring physician. I offer my deepest condolences to Katie. He will be greatly missed.
