My thoughts and prayers go out to Ron's family as well as his closest friends. I have known Ron for most of his years while working at then Norshipco now BAE. He was one of a kind and it has been an honor to know him as he always had that look, that thought, that ah ha moment that kept you going. He will be greatly missed by all that came to know him and by those that came in contact with him. He was a dear and valued friend.
