Please accept my sympathy. I was a secretary at the Aaron law firm back in the early '70s, and recall Ron as smart and industrious. Now and then I ran into him while walking to and from the train, and remember one day he told me of working out in the yard while watching a very little Rachel. He recalled with horror that he turned around to see her crawling into the street and had to run and scoop her up. Ron sure did love his kids!

We just returned from overseas and learned the tragic news of Ron's passing. We were partners together at the Aaron law firm. Ron was a legendary and indefatigable advocate--woe unto his opponents. No judge ever intimidated him. He will be missed. We offer our condolences to Barbara and the family.
