I loved Ron. Really sad about this. Always the good ones leave us first...
xoxoxo - rest in peace sweet kind angel.
Today Santa is crying.
What a special man. I had the pleasure of working with him for years and we had this neighborhood in common. I’m lucky to have shared some time in this life with him. I already miss his laugh, his voice and his zero-tolerance-for-bullshit point of view. I also loved when he would put music on at work. Usually loud and fast, always got everyone’s attention. I hope that heaven for Ron is that boat in the islands. May he rest in peace. I’m so lucky to have known him.
Rest in power my brother.
