I was a new employee in my senior year at high school at Kinney Shoes when Ron started as manager. We became friends and Ron was a mentor and taught me a lot in my maturing process. We played basketball on Sundays at the local playground and I was welcome at the parties at his apartment or just to stop up and listen to music on his reel to reel player. Ron gave me sound advise on decision making during my college years and we were friends that could open up to each other at any time. I called him in Tennessee but lost his number when my company "upgraded" my cell phone. I googled his name and found him on Legacy. I wish I could have talked to him at least one more time! - Scott Musgrave
