RON BALL

The first time I met Ron, it was like I knew him forever....come to find out, I (sort of) did. The Bristol Stomp was my favorite song back then AND I did join my friends to watch American Bandstand! What an honorable and centered person. His smile and twinkle in his eyes were always the first things noticed. Leslie and family, my heart goes out to you. Rest in peace, Ron.

I am devastated over your passing. We've been friends for many, many years and had lots of fun and great dinners together. I miss you... until we meet again...RIP old friend.

Leslie, My heart breaks for you! I loved Ron dearly and would never have had the successful career in the industry had he not just happened to be my rep in 1985 when I first became a supplier. His wit, his charm, his wisdom, his quiet ways, his love for you and family and pets - all are etched in my heart and mind. Hugs of sadness...

It saddens me to learn of Ron's passing. He was one of my mentors when I joined ASI nearly 18 years ago. Ron helped me tremendously in my career and was also good friend. Although I haven't seen him in some time, I've often asked of him and Leslie. My condolences to Leslie and the family. You are in my thoughts.
