Ron was a wonderful friend during my college years and after! We used to double date a lot! I wasn't his date but I was always fixing him up with my friends!

Ron wrote a great family book, I have an autographed first edition. Knew Ron through the USC family and the USC marching band. Ron will certainly be missed within the Trojan family.

Virginia Darroch Douglas writes "My sympathy to the Muckenthaler family on losing Ron--he was such a fine person. Ron made important contributions to the Catholic Alumni Club as a young man. He and I were friends for over 50 years--even though we lived on opposite sides of the country most of that time. And we shared an important enthusiasm--we both loved collie dogs!

Virginia asked if I would enter this into the guest book for her. Marilyn
