I am writing on behalf of the Campers in Camp Happiness a program of the NJ Blind Citizens Association in Leonardo NJ. Ron was and will be remembered for his kindness, gentle manner in which he interacted with our Campers. Everyone is thankful that he was part of their lives while he was with us. Thank you Ron, you will always be with us.
