I had not heard from Ron for a couple of years and had hoped it was an oversight. It was not. I worked with Ron at York Capacitor from the day he arrived to the day I left. After I retired to Florida, he would visit when down here. He was a smart, humble man who would come up with new products and then ask me the best way to make them with the equipment we had. I called him my friend, and he was. I will miss his talks, his visits, and his smile. Rest in peace, my Friend. I will miss you very much. I look forward to seeing you when my time comes. Keep a seat warm for me.

Ron was a great guy who loved humor. It was a pleasure to be with him and Sandy playing cards or going to lunch or dinner. He will be missed.
