To my most cherished friend who loved Shakespeare...

"And when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night..." You will be missed every day.

I played for Ron a number of times in the 70's. He was a beautiful, talented man.
