Got to know Ron at his clinic, he was THE most wonderful, caring, patient and positive person I ever was lucky enough to get to know. You will be missed tremendously! To your family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all and thank you for the chance to share life with Ron.
Some people touch our lives briefly, while others like Ron leave a lasting impression that will never be forgotten, and will definitely help others to grow to be better people as well.

Got to know Ron first at Cretin High School and we became friends. Always enjoyed seeing him as he was so upbeat, positive and naturally humerous. "God Speed" to him and God's blessings to you in your time of loss.
