The last time I saw Ron was in Sam's Club in Peoria, IL. But I don't remember the year that it was. I said to him "Are your Ron?" and he said to me "Are you Jim?" We talked for a while about Wine, and he told me most of the time he did not pay much more than $10.00 for a bottle of wine. I agreed with that and said me too. Sorry for your passing Ron. Signed your friend, Jim Fletcher
