Ron, I miss you so much my kind and wise friend. I remember the days when I used to wash your Porsche collection at the house for extra cash. Oh if life could only be that simple again. I'll see you in heaven my friend.- Love

I will always remember Ron as one of the most important influences of my adult life. For the opportunities and chances he extended me. Ron's philosophy's and visions greatly affect my life today as a retail clothing store owner.
I will miss Ron and keep his spirit alive in my daily work. His "style" is and has always been a part of me. Thank you Ron.
My prayers to all the family and friends whom I fondly remember. Some of the best times ever had.

I share with you the loss of a talented, wonderful, bright and passionate friend, and will cherish my memories of Ronnie forever.

Our high school years together, dating in the 70's, and finally working as his bookkeeper at “Ron Ross” in Sherman Oaks was truly an experience I will never forget. Our friendship was one I will always hold dear to my heart.

Here is a story I would like to share; Ronnie took me to a HHS basketball game in 1965 and while we were there, I asked him what he wanted to do when he graduated. He said, “I want to be wealthy and have a very large closet, full of the finest clothes and shoes and travel the world." He fulfilled those dreams, and not many of us do!

My heart goes out to his family and to those whose many lives he touched along the way. I will continue to think of him often.

We shall miss, but always remember an old friend who always made us look good. Ron was charming, friendly and always enjoyed a good conversation. Your name is permanently etched on the hangers in our closet.
