Worked with Ron Redden at LBJ and was always enlightened being with him. Always so positive about life. His friendship as co-worker meant a lot. Blessings sent to his family for their loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Ronnie's passing. Ronnie was one of those kids in high school who was almost always smiling, and nearly always left you feeling better after he talked with you. He was a year ahead of me at Denton High, and we weren't close friends in high school, but I spent many an hour in DHS basketball practices as a fellow member of the "mullets," the backup guys who played as the other team in practice, and almost never got to play in games unless we were 20 points ahead or behind with 2 minutes to go. He actually got to play more than me, but we definitely shared a lot of time on the bench. He was always a comedian, and had a quick joking comment for nearly any occasion. I remember one day Coach Howell had called him out for some reason, and made him run laps around the gym. Every time Ronnie passed our little group on the sideline, he had a different comic line, such as "Circling for a landing," that had us laughing so hard we almost got in trouble as well.
I lost track of him somewhat at NTSU, but recall sitting with friends in the old Auditorium for one of the dollar movie nights during the brief streaking craze on campus, probably watching "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" for the first time, when Ronnie and some of his frat brothers streaked across the stage, each carrying their clothes in one hand. As I recall, Ronnie accidentally dropped his wallet onstage, and I later heard that campus cops had picked him up. I don't know if it was true, or if it was Ronnie who dropped the wallet, but it would have made for a perfectly believable story if he had done it.
I never ran into him again after college, as best I can recall, so it was great to read about all of his many accomplishments in a very full life.
All of our lives were richer as a result of having Ronnie in them, even briefly. Please extend my condolences to his wife and family.
