Ron was a very special person. He connected with so many people in many ways. He and I discussed life, sports, and children. He was a very special person to my daughter who attended CSG. On her first visit to school since graduating in 2002, Ron was at the top of her list of people to visit; he hugged her warmly and made her feel welcomed. It was his way. He cared deeply about the students and his faculty friends. He will remain in our hearts. He will not be forgotten.
You, who loved him most, remain in our prayers.
Mary and Cailyn McGlocklin

My heart goes out to the family. Although I never knew Ron, I have worked with his wife Laura. Losing a love one especially this early is never easy but have comfort in knowing that he is in a better place now and that one day you will be reunited again.

Vicki and I, along with my sons Bo and Zach, loved Ron dearly. I roomed with Ron at Ohio State and can only say that we had more fun both during and after college then any other 2 guys there. We had so much fun that they threw me out and kept Ron out of spite. I will always cherish those memories and the times we got together for the rest of my life.

Our hearts are with Laura and the family and will be forever.

With Love, The Harts

Laura

Whether Ron and I were hanging out in front of the grill discussing sports, cars, or vacations, going to an Indians game or talking about the Browns I will always remember those special times with him. But the greatest gift Ron gave me was the comfort and security knowing that he loved my little sister very much.

Love,

Your big Brother.

I want to express my condolences on the passing of Ron- It is hard to beleive that such a vibrant, warm man could be taken in the prime of life. As a graduate of CSG in 1994, I have so many fond memories of Ron and the rest of the kitchen staff. Always ready with a kind word, a warm chocolate chip cookie, and never frustrated with the often crazy antics of a bunch of teenage girls. He will truly be missed by many and will always be a part of my fondest memories of high school.

Laura,

I am so sorry about Ron. He was such a neat person. I'm so glad that Peggy brought me with her to say goodbye. It really meant a lot to me to be there and meet you. You carried yourself with such grace during such a hard time. I will be thinking about you as you take the next steps in your life. I hope that you will find peace in your life again soon.

I was shocked and saddened to learn about Ron's passing, Laura, and am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. While our paths didn't cross that often, I always enjoyed Ron's good humor when we former PD-ers got together for beers. Ron's inherent kindness and compassion were obvious. He was just a good guy. I know you will always cherish your time with him. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Laura
I'm not sure you'll remember me from summer ball at NCS but my son, Eric, was on the Rockies this year. We were all so shocked to hear the awful news. Ron gave my son a great deal of confidence and support with his baseball skills and gave Eric and Robert and all the team a particularly wonderful memory in that special Cleveland game where they got to go on the field! What a thrill for a 12 yr old boy (and the 40 yr old boy too!) Ron had a generous spirit and a warm personality. We feel lucky to have known him, if only for one season.
In deepest sympathy -
Kim, Robert and Eric

Your husband was an incredible human being and brought much joy, understanding, wise counsel when needed, and laughter to those around him. He was exceedingly compassionate and loved you "without ceasing," and we are certain is continuing to do so. The depth of your relationships with family, friends, and co-workers clearly demonstrates the positive power of that loving and caring spirit. We cherish our memories of the times we spent together and wish him Godspeed on this final journey.
With our Deepest Sympathy and Love,
Barry and Gail

Dear Laura,

I'm so glad that my class shared a freshman year with Ron at CSG-- he was our partner in crime, like a big brother, and brought amazing food to CSG after so many years of chipped beef. But that's just the beginning of it-- I'm so thankful for his friendship in the years since then and for meeting you through Ron. You two had and have a love and devotion to each other for us all to admire and hope for. I am so sad that he was taken so soon from you and his family and friends, but I will do my best to carry on his legacy of smiles, compassion, and zest for life. My heart and thoughts are with you. Love, Peggy

It is difficult to express how sad we feel that Ron is no longer with us. For the faculty and students of Columbus School for Girls, Ron was a daily staple whose sense of humor, friendship, and constant devotion to our welfare provided an anchor in our lives. The Summer will not be the same without Ron's caring affection and open heart. He was a remarkable man.
Warmest respects,
Perry, Ann, and Tyler Rogers

I am deeply sadden for your loss. I may have seen Ron, once, or twice, since we graduated in 75, but He left a great impression of being a friend and a great guy. You have been given a gift, that a few of us will know, and that is of a lifetime of great memories-pass them on and the few will become many!

From : Bob and Jane Genton
To : Laura
Date: April 13th 2009

Laura:

Both Jane and I were very saddened to hear the sudden news of Ron's passing. Attending his resurrection mass this morning was a "no-brainer"-a very nice service. Your eulogy was very touching, especially your memorializing Ron as always looking out for the "little guy". Both Jane and I immediately thought of his relationship with Nick. His patience and mentoring of Nick over the past 11 years at CSG transformed Nick from a disabled child to a responsible adult. From all of this saddness, Jane and I find the silver lining in that both Ron and Nick are living an eternal life together and we are sure continuing the long discussion of who is the better team - the Indians or the Yankees.

Our deepest sympathy,

Bob and Jane

Dearest Laura,
This tragic loss is unimaginable. Two people who love each other as much as you and Ron should never be divided. My heart is broken for you. My best memory of Ron, and the one I choose to hold onto now, is of Ron playing catch with my son in the backyard of your house. He was such a good guy. If there is a good point to all of this, I hope it's that he is finally able to see Lindsey again. Love you, Anna

Laura,

I was stunned and saddened to hear of your sudden loss of Ron.

I didn't know Ron well, but to me, he was one of those individuals who rarely comes along.

I can probably count on one hand the number of people I meet in a year that actually leaves a lasting, positive impression. Ron was one of those folks. He displayed an easy manner and sense of humor that left me remembering it felt good to have shared just a fraction of his time.

With deepest simpathy for your loss of a good man,
