Carol, Jeff, Rick, Greg, and Cassandra. Sorry to hear about Ron. It has been awhile since the days in the 'hood, but I still share stories and reflect on our times together with him. He always seemed to have fun and create fun for us. Either playing ball, those long bike rides, or teaching us computers. Thinking of you.
