Ron was the best. Great guy. Great neighbor from the time we moved in next door. Helped move my Moms belongings from her old home. A machine of a guy who could work young guys under the table. Always a friendly hello to me and my wife. Tough guy with heart of gold. RIP Ron

My condolences to Ron and his family. My wife and I met Ron when we moved to Medford [Hillsdale Ave] in 2011. He once gave our daughter a small keyboard. She's been playing piano ever since. He was always helpful and a great teller of tales. We have nothing but fond memories. R.I.P [Rise Into Paradise]

My condolences to the Devlin family on Ron's passing. He was truly an extraordinary fellow. He moved me from an apartment on the Fellsway to an apartment in Somerville, and when I got married he moved us from that Somerville apartment to our home in Lynn. Both times I had to force him to take money for his labors! May he rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to Kevin & all of the Devlin family members. I’ve known Ron for over 60 years & have always known him as an honest, hardworking & knowledgeable guy who would help anyone in need. He was extremely interesting to talk to about the ‘old days’ & was probably the most knowledgeable person by far I’ve ever met about the history of the “Medford Hillside “. Ron, I will miss seeing you at Alexander’s & having our little talks & having laughs ( before Covid)- but know this, you will be missed & I will keep you in my prayers- Rest In Peace my friend!
