I am deeply saddened by the tragic and untimely passing of a strong leader. Ron has left a tremendous legacy both in building up a highly successful business and by his invaluable contributions within the motor coach industry. ABC has lost an outstanding Chairman and a good friend as Ron provided valuable insight and sound judgment on issues crucial to the company.
I wish to extend condolences to Ron's Wife (Ellizabeth), Clancy, his siblings and three children Roman, Lucas and Ryhan.
