I was a youngster or 16 years when I became full time student at Yuba College fall of 1988. His knowledge and enthusiasm shaped more than my body, or shaped my outlook on the future. I gained strength(s) then, that I still have today.

I am sure going to miss Ron. We spent many hours together riding our motorcycles on long trips plus many hours in the air in the Cessna 172. Ron was a great friend that we all will miss. I drove down from our home in Shelton, WA to attend his Celebration of Life. It was wonderful hearing about his life and how he had an influence on so many. RIP good buddy.

I'm sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Our little motorcycle group used to go to dinners on Friday nights in years past. He always had a joke. We always got to hear about Chris and football. Nice, friendly guy. My deepest sympathies
