He was such a kind, loving, and gentle man. Such a joy to be around. My condolences to the family. I am so sorry for your loss.
Ron gave me my first job as a machine designer. I worked for him 3 times for a total of about 7 years. Just last week I was bragging about he is still the best machine conceptualized I have ever worked with. I will miss him
