With deepest sympathy and all Gods Blessings to Ron's son and family over the loss of Ron. Having know him for many years in the Pupil Transportation Industry as colleagues and board members on the Transportation Administrators of AZ, he will be sadly missed. He was a leader with compassion and empathy and his smile brightened the room. God Bless you Ron as you begin your eternal life. A favorite poem of mine to share at times like this reads: The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power, to tell just when the hands will stop, on what day or hour. Now is the only time we have, so live life with a will. Don't wait until tomorrow for the hands may then be still. I'd like to think Ron lived life with a will and to its fullest. RIP dear friend.

Ron will be missed by so many people who's lives he touched.
I don't think Ron knew a stranger. He had a way to make everyone feel comfortable and important.

Ron, you were the best boss Griff and I had. You were always ready to come to our home and enjoy a meal with us. My granddaughter Dallas named you " Ron the ice cream man " in front of a room full of your friends at Pizza Hut.
Kevin is doing well with the help of so many of your dear friends. You have wonderful friends.
Thank you for your friendship, you taught your son Kevin to be respectful and friendly like you.

Ron was the kind of guy you wanted around. I never heard him say anything bad about anyone. If you needed something he was always there. Even after retirement he would bring ice cream to the transportation office as a jester of his caring for the people who worked there. He will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear of Ron's passing, he was such a great person. My first memory and meeting of him was in Jr. High, when the school bus driver refused to stop at the bus stop. My friends mom called and yelled. Ron came and drove my friend and I to school. Then years later he became our neighbor. What a great friend and spoiled the animals rotten. You will be missed.
