Very sad to learn of his passing. I now live in the Detroit area and had not seen Ron in decades. We were good buddies during our high school years, members of the group we fondly called the "Barry Boys." He was always a delight. God bless him and his family. Louis Chiara, MD

To The Lencioni Family:
We send our prayers for Ron and sympathies to your family. I have known Ron for so many years, as I first met him when I was a young broker rep from Cleveland, then moving on to Chicago and as one of his 'principals' we worked together in the Food Service business for a number of years. I don't think I will ever meet someone that had more ' I've gotta a guy who can buy that' more than Ronnie. He was the consummate salesman and made friends at every call he made.
God Rest his sweet soul!

Dearest Carlotta and family,
Bruce and I feel such sympathy and sadness over the loss of your beautiful Ronnie, who will always be loved and cherished. Ron was the kind of guy everyone loved being around, always sharing his home, his kindness, and himself with others. Ron will be truly missed, especially his beautiful warm smile. We love you, Carlotta, and are sending our love to help get you through this difficult time.
