I enjoyed working with Ron as a colleague at Canyon High into 1993. I know the kids we both worked with appreciated him.
I also sensed a dedication to his Family.
May he Rest with the Lord

One of the nicest people I can first remember back from the Sky Blue Mesa days. I am saddened deeply to see he passed, but I also know he
lived his life to the full and he influenced many, MANY people to be a good person. My deepest condolences to his family, loved ones and friends.
RIP, Mr. Wagoner

My heartfelt sympathy to Ron's family, especially his brother Don. We shared the best of times, growing up in the '50s and attending Hart High. Those have memories remained with me throughout my life. It's always sad to lose someone who helped shape our teen-aged years and the rest of our lives. Sharon Hamer Donaldson

So sorry to hear Stacy. I apologize, but I am going to post the same memory I posted on your mom´s page (with a few edits):

I thought highly of your dad. One of the nicest guys I have known.

My fondest memory of him (besides him always being welcoming and kind) was when I heard noises outside of my parents´ home (as a teen) late at night. I looked outside and saw a certain bunch of 12/13 year old girls TPing us. I ran outside and those certain girls scattered like crazy. I saw a station wagon parked in front of our home with a tall figure in it. (Or at least I think it was a station wagon....it´s been a few decades.) Recognizing it, I approached. The window rolled down. There, in the driver´s seat, was your dad. "Hi Scott!" he called. I asked him what he was doing. With a smile on his face, he responded that he was "just waiting for the girls to come back"because I scared them off. I kept thinking, "I am never having Ron be the getaway driver when my friends and I go TP-ing."

Worst (but nicest) getaway driver ever!

We love all of you and you will all be in our prayers. My parents also send their love.
