The world has lost a wonderful person. My wife and I first met Ron in the late 1970's when Don and he were living in their townhouse.
There was an instant bond and we visited whenever we could. He was always the most gracious host.
To borrow a line from "Hamlet".......'Good Night, Sweet Prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.'

I worked with Ron for 16 years, He was considerate, easy going and funny. I have so many fond memories I can't begin to mention them all but just to show the kindness in his heart he would be very supportive when on occasion I had to bring my daughters to work with me. Rebecca and Kimberly enjoyed it so much they would ask me to take them to work. When my husband retired from Chicago Police Department and we moved to Las Vegas he still kept in touch with us. Ron touched all our hearts and he will be truly missed.
Our deepest sympathy

We were sorry to hear of Ron's passing. My husband, Andrew Mark, (now deceased) worked for Ron as Art Director for many years. It was so comforting and fun to have phone conversations with Ron over the years, and especially to have his newsy holiday letter. We'll miss him.
