Sorry to hear this. We were neighbors on Pratt St and classmates at NFA. Pleasantly surprised about his academic accomplishments. His focus was on sports not classroom back then. His mother would have been so proud of the man he became. My sincere condolences to his wife and family.

Dear Mary and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. As Administrative Assistant for SAU #40 in Milford, I saw Ron each and every day at the Superintendent's Office. Ron had a way with the front door of the office -- we always knew when he was in the building. I have to say we missed his visits after he left Milford. Again, my thoughts are will your Family.

Love, Ann Roberts
