When my toddler was very sick with the flu, the pediatrician called in the Rx to Penrose. About ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. Ron had delivered the medicine! I was grateful and taken aback. He said "I can´t stand to think of a baby that sick."
He was that kind of man. Gentle, kind, above and beyond. My condolences to his family.
