We were sorry to hear about Ron's passing. While we were not able to come to the visitation or the funeral, we did want to mention one small memory. Ron golfed with Dave at two consecutive OSU Civil Engineering Alumni outings, and he won a pair of OSU football tickets at both of them. He was a lucky guy and always had a smile on his face.
Sharon and Jamie, know that we will also miss Ron, but look forward to visiting with you soon.

Ron was a proud and loyal Carolian who will be missed by his classmates and fellow alumni. I enjoyed each and every visit i had with Ron and extend my deepest sympathies to his family especially you Dan because you followed in your dad's footsteps at St. Charles. We always talked about you whenever we reconnected.
