I lived down the hall from "Big Ron" in the dorm at UNH. I had the pleasure of knowing him all 4 years and we took a class together our senior year. He was a great guy with strong morals, a tolerance of others, and was well liked by all. I have not seen or heard about him since we graduated in 1978. I am sorry to hear of his passing.

Ron was the best. One of kind. He had such a way of making anyone laugh. He loved life and lived to love. I think of him often. It was very difficult to watch some so full of life and laughter to go through what he did. My prayers and sympathy are with his family and friends.
I miss my friend.
