I am saddened to learn of Ron's passing. We were friends through our boys and I had the privilege of getting to know Ron when he was living in Plympton. I recall his passion for home electronics, but I remember him most as an excellent cook. Mostly he was a genuine good guy and I will remember him always.

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Ron and would like to pass my condolences on to his family. Ron helped push me into programming, by teaching me the basics, and pushing me to learn new things. He was also responsible for getting me hooked on salt water reef tanks many years ago and we had some fun times working on them together.
