If there was anyone who we would have chosen for a great friend, it would have been Ron Odom and his wife, Betty. We became friends through two motorcycle clubs there in Corpus Christi: The Sparkling City Motorcycle Club (SCMC), and Chapter X of the Goldwing Motorcycle Club. We shared thousands of miles together on the road for many years and never had a cross word among us. Ron was always there for us, and we were there for him if he ever needed us. He was a "man's man", honest, dependable, and most caring. He and his wife, Betty, hold a very special place in our hearts and always will. Rest in peace, dear friend, and give Betty a hug for us.

Ron & Betty were wonderful Goldwing friends. I think Ron knew every back road and every good, inexpensive restaurant in Texas. We rode many miles and made many memories together with Chapter X. He and my late husband also enjoyed sharing their Navy experiences. Patti

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Ron was a very special friend who was thoughtful of others and always willing to help the ladies with their car problems. He loved traveling and was able to swim circles around us at the YWCA!
