I read with sadness today about the passing of Ron. I used to work with Ron in the late 80's at Norwest Securites in Chicago. In 1988, the Chicago office closed, and we all went our own ways, and unfortunately lost touch. When reading about his passing today I flashed back to some great memories. Ron always had a smile on his face and he knew how to make us all laugh. He was always talking about two things, football and his two children. He was passionate about both. I have not thought about those days in a long time, but it has been nice remembering such a nice man. To his children I would just like to say that I lost my mother to cancer 10 years ago at the age of 59, and I have some idea of what you are going through. My heart and prayers go out to you , and I know that he will always be close to you in your hearts, souls and in your memories. I hope it helps just a little bit that there are many fond memories of him here.
