Ron will be missed by so many, including people like me who worked on lawsuits to improve the health of prisoners. Ron passionately focused on the needs of our most powerless citizens and never gave up the fight to make things better. He was one of my heroes.

Ronald was my first love. He will always be in my heart. I attribute my left-handedness to him. To play baseball at Sherman School's summer playground program, you had to be able to write your name. I could not. So I taught myself cursive so I could play with Ronald. I used my left hand because he was left-handed.

So many wonderful memories!

Be well.
