I had the privilege of working with Ron. Within moments of meeting him I recognized his brilliance, phenomenal work ethic and sense of humor. He made every challenge easier due to his guidance, confidence and humble approach. He was a quiet legend in insurtech and I was so happy for him and Sue when he decided to retire. His loss is heartbreaking but many of us honor him each day by using what he taught us. It was an honor to know Ron. He will be remembered as one of the great ones.

Ron was a brilliant and insightful person. He had a great entrepreneurial spirit. He also had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. We traveled to Microsoft for Nationwide for a briefing and took a boat trip on the Sound. Ron was pretty much up for any new adventure and talked me in to it. He was just a great guy to be around and was always interesting. I really missed him when he left Nationwide and I consider myself fortunate that I got to see him again several months ago. He will be remembered.

Ron was a friend and mentor to everyone with whom he worked. His brilliance, humor and humility made him so special. He spoke so lovingly of Sue, the love of his life and his beloved nieces and nephews. He was such a special man; honest, hard working, full of integrity and so disarmingly funny.
