Dearest Tanny, I just learned that you had lost Ron two years ago. Please accept my condolences on your loss. He was one terrific man. That both he and Larry Raphael were taken at virtually the same time is unthinkable.

I am sorry for your loss. I had a case where Ron was opposing counsel. He was such a good guy.

I just heard of Ron's passing yesterday. Ron and I played Little League baseball on the same team and Carl was our coach. I called Ron maybe 6 months prior to his passing after not having spoken since High School. The first thing he said to me was " Frank you could never hit that curve ball". Extremely sad to hear of his passing I was looking forward to reconnecting. He had a wonderful warm soul. RIP my friend.❤

Dear Tanny
So sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Ron as a darling little boy who I always thought resembled his father to a tee. I lost my sister 3 years ago and it has left a void that cannot be filled. I would love to hear from you,

I had the pleasure of his friendship for my whole life. Ron and I went to school together, played sports together and had the same friends. He was sort of a hero of mine. He possessed the kind of character that I hoped I would develop. There was a kindness about him that made you like him, instantly. But he also had a passion for competition that made him a quality athlete. He is, in my mind, the all american boy, who grew up and was a wonderful family man. Although we didn't see each other much in later life, I always considered myself close in spirit. I remember the time Ron, his Dad Carl and I had lunch. When Carl arrived he and Ron hugged and Ron kissed his Dad on the cheek. I thought so much of that scene, that from that day when ever I saw my Dad I gave him a hug and a kiss. Ron Bakal will always have a fond place in my heart and mind. Rest in peace my friend. You left us with great memories!!

The Bakal Family have my deepest sympathy. Philippines 4:6,7 says that God has the peace that excel all thought and guards the heart, may that peace be with your family during this difficult time.
