I just heard the sad news. My memories of Ron are mostly as neighbors growing up on Chapel Street. As adults, our paths crossed only occasionally but his friendly smile and willingness to help was always a big part of who Ron was. My sympathies to all his family.

Ronnie, I will miss our chats by the apple trees, and can only hope that I will be at least half as adventurous as you were. You will be greatly missed here on Chapel Street. Tim and I are better for having known you and your family. We couldn't have asked for a better 'neighbor'. Happy kayaking in the sky, dear friend.
