Uncle Ron was truly one of my very best friends in the world. I looked up to this man my whole life and to put it simply; I adored and loved him so much. His death breaks my heart, however, I realize he is in a good place right now. Ron will truly be missed in my life.

I had some of my most wonderful memories working with Ron at Grubb & Ellis in Phoenix. He was an exceptional
Leader and one of my closest friends. I called him “Papa” and he called me “kid”….Thank you Barbie for taking care of one tough Marine!

A great boss, manager/friend always helped us keep our spirits up when we were down -emotionally-THE # 1 reason, that our office became the top office in Tucson was Ron a man I knew that if I had a problem-I could talk with him-solve – walk out his office and the problem was solved-ALWAYS——Chris Kwasny he actually served us coffee followed by a slap on the back and a “go get um” you can do it”
