Ron and I worked together at CCH for many years. At that time, Ron and I had a special close bond, as he taught me much about our complicated work. We also shared about our private lives with each other. Our condolences to Pat, and his family.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I was fortunate to have known Ron as my next door neighbor for several years. In addition to many wide ranging conversations, we enjoyed problem solving together on minor home repairs from time to time. Ron was a fine man and will be fondly remembered by me and those who knew him well.
