Shocked is the word, Susan we are so very sorry for your loss. We too go back to the Unicut days. The entire family is saddened. He gave all the kids their "first" haircuts. What a great guy to have called friend. Ken will miss having Ron to solve all the world's problems with. He is missed!

Susan, We want to once again express our sympathy and love for you at this time of your great loss. Having been "with Ron" for almost 30 years - longer than Don & I have been married - I have so many memories!! I remember Unicut and that funky wallpaper, I remember when you two got married, I remember him being so sick a few years sgo, and most recently the haircuts when he and Don ended up going down "memory lane" of Dawson and the surrounding area!! Don and I were so shocked and stunned at his passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers now and in the days and weeks to come.

Love, Don & Karen Thomason (and Scout too!)

I met Ron at Unicuts back in 1972 and was in last month for the last cut. Susan, I am so sorry and I will miss him dearly. He was just the best and I will miss our theology discussions and his warmth and caring nature. God bless you and the family.

Today my parents informed me that Ron White passed away past Monday. I was totally shocked. I asked my daddy what caused Ron to die? He said that it is caused by virus. I said that is too impossible. I wish my parents should informed me early that way I can come to see his body at the funeral home and service.



I was about 7 or 8 years old. My mom, sister and I went to the haircut place on Harvard where Ron's buddy Joel and Ron worked there. Ron always teases me all the time. Since I grew up to attend his hairdressing place till I graduated from high school, Ron always cut my hair all the times.



Ron is too faster to cut everyone's hair than other. He could be professional haircutter! lolol... I miss him. I am so sorry for your loss Ron.



God bless you and your family. GOd be with you and comfort you..

I am deeply saddened by Ron's passing, and the void this will leave in all his friends' lives. He was more than a hairdresser to us, he was a caring man. I looked forward to my Saturday morning visits, where he literally worked miracles with my hair. Susan, you are in our thoughts and prayers; he will be missed by all who knew him.

Susan and family,

Diane and I are deeply sorry for the sudden passing of Ron. I will truly miss the monthly conversations Ron and I had while getting my haircut - something that took place for many years. You and your family are in our prayers and thoughts during this difficult time.

Susan, I am so very sorry for your loss....for what we've all lost. Ron was a unique, talented and just all around wonderful guy. He was much more than my "hairddresser", he was a friend. I remember how sometimes I was just so tickled with how my hair looked the day after one of his magical cuts, that I'd just have to call & have Susan tell him "thank you." He's going to be a tough act to follow.

Ron....I miss you.

Lynn and I are very sorry for your loss. We will miss all the good times that we had when we came in to have our hair cut. Ron will be missed greatly.

Fall of 1979 was my first visit with Ron and fall of 2005 was my last. What an unbelievable turn of events. Susan, I am so sorry for the loss of Ron. Every month I always look forward to Snippers! One of the best qualities I admired about Ron is that he was a geniue person and had a solid grasp of what life is about. I feel privelged to have had him as a friend and I will miss him very much.

To think that I have had my head in your hands for 32 years is amazing and the time has just flown by. We have gone thru divorce and remarriage and watched our kids grow and become grandparents together. You have been much more than a hairdresser to me! I will miss you greatly and my hair will never be the same. Love you Yvonne Key

I will miss his smile and sense of humor. I did not know him a long time, but I can't get him and Susan out of my mind.

I met Ron back in the 70's when Ron was at UniCut on Harvard. He delighted in giving me the 'Farrah' hairdo! As so many of Ron's patrons, he made you feel warm and comforatable - and secure with your hair! As I'm sure everyone says, Ron was so personable and ALWAYS had a smile; you always left him feeling better than when you arrived. I continued seeing Ron, even when I lived in Dallas for 10 yrs. However, due to a lot of changes in my life, I hadn't seen Ron in the last few months. I regret this. Ron will always be a special memory for me, and I pray the best for Susan, and all of Ron's family and many, many dear friends. Thank you for offering this guestbook, as a way for so many of us to express our feelings.
