My heart was sadden when I read my e-mail Friday morning that Lt Col Couch had passed away. I have so many fond memories of him and Marlene while we were stationed at Lindsey AS, Germany. May our happy memories help us all in this time of sorrow.

Deeply saddened by Ron's passing. He was a truly a good guy and will be missed. When looking at the pond and see the ducks will have a fond thought of Ron.
