We used to sneak across the street during lunchtime at Luther Burbank High School and have lunch maybe take a quick swim. He was always laughing and had a good nature about him. Via con Dios Ron.

In high school we used to get Ron and Greg Pierce to go with us when we tp'ed a house. We didn't do it that often, but those guys were tall. Very sad to hear about Ron. He was one of the nice guys who i remember fondly. My condolences to his family.
