I went to St. Theresa's with Ron and though I probably rode the bus with him to High School don't remember much about him from then. My most vivid memory of him is from 8th grade and how he was ALWAYS late for school. His family lived across Baseline Rd. from the school and each morning during the first lesson of the day you could see Ron slowly making his way across Baseline to school. He, like the rest of us, was in no hurry to get there! Looked up his obituary when I saw he was gone and had no idea how creative he was! I do remember the reptiles from St. Theresa's.
If you want more on his life, his family wrote a sweet obituary for him...good to know he was well loved.
I can't say I was super close to Ron but one thing I still remember and always will, thanks to Bruce Springsteen is when we were paired up to go sell yearbook ads to the local businesses. I was riding his car and Bruce's first hit "Born to Run" was playing on the radio and Ron said, - "Who is this guy? He'll never make it with that voice". Everytime that songs gets played on the classic stations like it was twice today, I always think of that moment and smile.
