At the anniversary of Ron's passing, can't believe it's been year. Think of Ron often, every time I fill my Yeti Cup with water. Before I even knew what a Yeti Cup was, remember how excited Ron was that we were all getting Yeti Cups at our annual Golfing event in North Conway. I cannot look at my Yeti Cup without thinking about Ronnie! I miss him so very much. He will always have a place in my heart.

I just saw the announcement of Ron's passing in The Citadel Alumni magazine. I was Ron's Cadre Sergeant his freshman year. I remember him as an intelligent, unselfish and good hearted individual. He was liked and respected by all. My condolences to his family. It sounds like he had a positive influence in many people's lives. RIP. - Clint Aldrich

I was deeply saddened and stunned to learn of Ron's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his sons, parents, friends and all who loved him. He was so excited for his adventures in Alaska. I hope his last days were happy and memorable.
He was a dear friend to so many, who could and would talk to everyone he met, a wonderful story teller, with a quick wit, a mischievous grin, and an easy laugh. He was also a true gentleman. I'm grateful to have called him friend. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Captain Ron.
