Peggy, I am so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He was a wonderful person. I really enjoyed working with him at 28th Street. He would make us laugh at Supervisor's meetings with his quick wit and his unique perspective on life. I missed him when he retired from the County. I wish you and your family peace and strength during this time. I will keep you and Ron in my prayers. Take care.

I met Ron at work during a Supervisor's retreat and Supervisor Training. He was easy going and easy to work with and a good friend. I was not aware of all his accomplishments of which I was impressed. I think he is a person who will be surely missed. My sympathies go out to Ron's family and friends.

I had the pleasure of working with Ron at the Dept of Human assistance and no matter what day of the week it was, he would always have something funny to say to lighten the moment. Ron's spirit will live forever in the memories of all those whom he touched.

Ron will remain a special person to many, especially to the Medi-Cal Induction Class of August 1994. His public service nature will be remembered.
My prayers go out to the Marston family during this difficult time.

My prayers go out to you and your family at this time. But we know that Ron is now with the Lord and probably making him laugh with that wonderful sense of humor of his. I enjoyed knowing him and working with him. He was a breath of fresh air when things sometimes were not going so well. He will be missed.
