Ron and I were friends since junior high and there is nothing he wouldn't do for his friends. I was amazed at his spirit after so many heath issues it never showed in talking with him. I will miss the telephone talks and his jokes and music memories we shared with each other. Bye for now Ron make run for your buddy's in heaven we'll join you and catch up. Ron Petrie.
