We will both miss Ron's cheerful smile and fun personality. We all have lost a wonderful friend and dental colleague. We will always remember "Ace Ventura" and the Pedo Proms where Ron was the dancing star! Our heartfelt sympathy to Janet and his family.

At Arthur Dugoni School of Dentistry I worked on many projects with Ron. He was always upbeat and cheerful, the perfect demeanor for Pediatric work. He was always calm and pursuasive, never demanding. I wonder how many people knew that his smooth, authoritative announcer voice had been utilized on several radio shows over the years?

I was unaware until today of Ron's death.
He was a dedicated teacher/educator at the school of dentistry. He cared to make a difference and he did with his family, profession, colleagues and patients. His passion and enthusiasm was contagious.He will be remembered for all the lives he touched.

Ron's passing is a shock and brings great sadness to my entire family. Ron was a childhood friend all through high school; I was a bridesmaid in his wedding; his father was my dentist; Ron was my children and grandchildren's dentist. His parents were wonderful, as well. We will miss his warmth and humor so very much. God speed Ron to a special resting place. Much love from Penny, Ken, Shannen and Samantha and families.

Our sincerest condolences to Dr. Mack's family. He was our sons's trusted dentist for many years and had also been the same for our granddaughters. He was a part of our family. A wonderful person who will be missed but fondly remembered.

Ron pioneered the "electrosurgical pulpotomy" and he was always eager to share information on this technique. He was one of the nicest guys I ever met. Many of us at the Dugoni School of Dentistry, University of the Pacific will be stunned to read this news. I feel so sorry for his devoted wife.
