I remember Ron from grade school and the reunion we had for Central School about a decade ago.  He was a gentle giant who was caring and a friend.  I will miss him and I'm certain others who ever came in contact with will as well.  Best to his family and loved ones.  He will be missed.

Ron and I became friends when I got my first job in 1970 at the Jewel Food Store in Winnetka, where we worked together in the produce department. He was a great guy, good-hearted, and fun, and stayed that way to the end. We stayed in touch through the years, and we talked while he was in the hospital during his final illness. I will miss him always.

I'll never forget playing hockey with Rich Olson and Ron. He was a heck of a player and tons of fun. We called him the "Crease Bomber" because he would get about 3 feet from the opposition goal and try to take a slap shot :). Great guy

I remember, as a kid, going to his house for a playdate. His idea of fun was to play a tape recording he made of a play-by-play narrative of a recent Blackhawks hockey game. 

Flash forward to our 30th reunion, and there he is, wearing a Blackhawks jersey, which he put on in the taxi on the way to the event.

Here's to continuity.

Sorry to hear he's gone.

I remember playing that game at Santa's Village in Elk Grove. We left around 4:30 to 5:00 am and Ron's comment in the car was God's not even up at this hour. It's true, Ron would take slapshot's at the goalie from very close in. I think his stick on the follow through would hit the goalie before the puck.
