I just saw online the obituary for Ron, as I was trying to find him and re-connect. Ron and I were as close as friends can be in the 8th-10th grades while living in the Oglethorpe Apartments in Chamblee Ga, and going to school at Marist and Chamblee, before I moved to Florida. I last saw Ron when he lived in Albuquerque New Mexico during the early 70's. He was my best friend in those early years, and I will miss him very much.

Ron and I went through grammar and high school together and in those years you could always depend on Ron picking up you day. He was fun to be around and easygoing and never had a harsh word for anyone. After high school we saw each less of each other but when we did see or talk to one another it was just like we saw each other yesterday. I will miss him and keep him in my prayers.
