To Ron’s family: I’m so sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. I am also so glad that I was able to see him about 1 and a half months ago at Uncle Dudley’s. He was a good family friend who always had a smile for me when I saw him. I will let my family know that he has passed. My brother, Doug, was in the same WHS class of 1964.
