We were just thinking about Ron, the other day. So many Shipmates have passed, thus far and they are all missed so much. Condolences and prayers for the Cravens, I know we miss them a lot.

Our condolences to the children and grandchildren of Ron and Kay. We live on the other side of this planet only just now heard of his passing. We were formerly partners in TFA 2 and later in the Detective Task Force in 1968. Our days go back to 44th and Lake Park and to Goderich. Will always have the image of his smile in my mind. A great person.

To a "Shipmate" and Sub Sailor. Our sympathies and prayers go out to the Craven Family. Ron and I served in SUBDIV 9-225 for a number of years. As members of the "Silver Dolphin Club", we had several GREAT parties at the Craven home. They were very memorable. We missed learning about Kay by several weeks and were out of town for Ron's visitation and service.
Craven Family, your parents were 4.0 people. We know they will be missed by all.

Ray Kosinski and I rode the three wheelers at 95th beach for a few summers and Ronnie would park the city boat at the Coast Guard Station . He would tell very funny stories about his patrolling the lakefront and the situations that he encountered. I will never forget SKI DADDY and LET IT HAPPEN CAPIN , everytime he told it I laughed for an hour. Great guy will be missed.

My deepest condolences to Ron's children and grandchildren. I worked with Ron in Area 2, and I spoke with him on the telephone only a month ago. It was great to catch up. He always had a smile and a joke when we were youth detectives in Area 2. He'll be missed.
