My deepest condolences to Kendall and Courtney and family… Ron was a very good old friend of my husband Rudy….. he was a devoted father to his girls and a good family man. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Please take some comfort in knowing that Rudy was also there to welcome Ron home💜✝️ Tara Boyd-Martinez
I loved Ron. He was one hell of a player May he rest in the peace of the Lord God Almighty Luigi Gino Micheli
A fine teammate. He gave it all in every instance. George Kunz
Ron was a Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity brother of mine at EMU. He was a great brother in those years of active life. Paul Woolner
My deepest sympathy to Ron’s daughters and family. I have so many memories with Ron. I’ve thought of him so often through the years and talked of him too. I remember the time he was brushing his teeth at my parent’s house and he was leaning on the sink when the whole sink came away from the wall! I hope Duke and Chaney were there to meet you, as well as Peter and your mom and dad. RIP Ronald. Geralyn Williams
