I will never forget the smile on your face ... right up to the last time we got to come visit you last Monday bud ... all my best and condolences to the family.

I know some of you had visited him, so I say 'Thank you'.

Early this week a group of us went to visit, and Ron wanted to know if our cars were there, and they were. He wanted to go out and see them but was to ill to go out. So we lined up the car a took a pic for him. As we did, we rev'd our engines. When we got back in his home, he named off the cars, in the order we started our cars. Always the car nut.
That is a great story and the guys revving their engine will always know you made Ron a happy guy before he left us.

I remember seeing his 996TT around at meets.

Rip Buddy!

R.I.P., buddy. Ron was truly as nice as they come. Met him at Lucent once while waiting for my car to get done. Almost bought his TT front bumper a few years back.
