We might not have any more Hooks reunions but I will remember those trips to Twin City, Garden City, Richmond Hill, Hoover and Metter and Ron was an important part of all of them. Rest in Peace Cuz!

I have many wonderful memories of Ron and his lovely wife, June, back in the "good ole days" before aging and health for both of us interrupted our fun times. Both have been dear friends and parents/grandparents admired by me. David Christie
