I just learned of Ron's passing. Truly a wonderful person and friend. First met Ron in 1974 when we worked together at NHTSA in Baltimore and stayed close for many years after. I was truly blessed to be able to call him a friend.

May God bless you.

Hi Ann, I was so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. I had recently spoke with Ron and enjoyed hearing about his plans for making the best of what ever challenges came his way.

Dear Ann-
I only had the opportunity to work with Ron for a couple years at NHTSA but he was always so kind to me and welcomed me into the office. He was well-respected and did such good work for the states. May he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear this I really enjoyed working with Ron; he was a gem. I will always have fond memories of the time when he took a group of NHTSA folks out to one of his favorites crab houses in Maryland; a good friend and great colleague; he will be missed

Dear Ann,
I was saddened to hear of Ron's passing. Although we hadn't been in touch since his retirement from NHTSA, I have fond memories of working with Ron at headquarters. We worked together for several years - as a matter of fact, I recruited him to headquarters where he made significant contributions to financail management of NHTSA's State grant programs. He was a gentleman with a fine sense of humor and professionalism. I can still see him laughing & blushing - always with a smile on his face. May he rest in peace and my sincerest sympathy to you and your families.
