I am truly saddened to hear about Ron’s passing. I have had the pleasure to know Ron through the auction and will remember him fondly as a truly genuine, kind person. Always a smile on his face and he cared about others and wanted to know how they were. I can hear him in my mind “be good to yourself”.
With heartfelt sympathy on your loss.
I will miss you my friend
