I first knew Ron as being a patient at jasper county hospital, then as a fellow patron at Jerry's gun shop. Ron was a thoughtful man and a good story teller, he had quite a few! He had that old truck that was held together with bailing wire and bungee cords,I think that was a source of pride with him that it didn't fall apart. I used to own a buffalo and Ron sent me newspaper articles on them and even sent me a baseball hat that said chucks buffalo ranch He will be missed
