I am in shock and disbelief. You loved life to the fullest. You will always be in my heart Ron as we were inseparable. It will be hard to heal but prayers to your family and your beautiful sister who I've come to love very much. RIH.

If this is the same Ron Smith I played basketball & softball with in the late 70's & early 80's, you were a pretty fair player up in So. Lake Tahoe City leagues. I'm still playing man & remember the enthusiasm & joy you played with! I'll think of that when I step on the court now. You were fun Ron! Thanks for being there for me buddy, appreciate you! Rest in Peace old teammate. Steve Bloom, former So. Lake Tahoe CA resident & Utah Prospector Player/ Western Basketball Asoc.
