Ron was someone whose comments and opinions always informed me. i remember him as daring, smart, interesting, innovative, and patient oriented. I like his approach to conversations and discussions. He drew you in, and while I may not always have agreed, he made you more aware and more informed. While I enjoyed our professional conversations during our working careers, I especially sought him out at meetings following retirement. His magnetic personality complemented his car driving, boating, Florida-centric, and Park City passions. My deepest condolences to his family, many friends, and colleagues. Ron, you are missed!
