When I met Ron, he was a quiet man that had a tendency to blend into the background, until that sharp wit of his would drop a zinger from out of nowhere. He loved God, he loved his family, and he loved sports. Few things brought him more joy than watching his step daughters and grandchildren play. Few things lit a greater spark in him than watching UCLA play.

It is with much sadness that I say goodbye to Ron this evening. After a long and difficult struggle with Parkinson’s and Diabetes and several complications, Ron went to be with his Lord this evening. I take away some joy from the knowledge that he is celebrating with God after so many struggles. Goodbye my father-in-law; goodbye my friend.
