These always hurt so much...I never met him either, but when a fellow 6 member takes the last drive, Its almost as if ones been friends for years and it hurts more than one would think...RIP.

John,
I know how you feel... I took out a shoe box that Ron sent me his P-car batter tender last year. I have a given name on another board, "Toeny" for "Tony"... well Ron addressed the box as "Toney"... and not sure why I never through out this box and glad I didn't.
I flew in from Dallas and visited Ron 2 weeks ago and brought Ron a Tony Romo Jersey... the smile he had on his face when I brought it out was pricesless and I'll never forget it. I am glad that I had a chance then and last spoke to him on Monday... and was able to tell again, how much we love him...
You're sorely missed bro!!

Ron had me hang the Tony Romo jersey on the wall of his room next to his Ferrari F1 shirt. I know he enjoyed it very much. Thanks...

ron dawg was one of the first guys to 'pm' me, welcoming me to rennlist five years ago... i had a 3x blk cab as well.
we had some "good times". even up until our last visit, he had a smile on his face (asked if we wanted a drink, etc.).
if anyone was perfected enough to go to heaven it was ron.
rt7 i hope to follow your line bruddah!
miss ya.

OMG!!!! Thats awful.... I was the one that purchased his Porsche from him. I had no clue about this!!! This sadens me greatly, he was a real class act to deal with.... I spent the day with him when I flew in to pick up the car and drive it back to Az, he was a great host and was very generous in picking me up and all.
God be with his family!
R.I.P. Ron!

This is depressing. I met Ron at the first 6speed gathering I attended at Lucent. He was a fun-loving and charismatic guy. I think he was an avid surfer? Mike, my condolences to his family.
