For the past two days I have been devastated by the news of Ron's passing. I
am not a very active member of this list, but I have been personally touched
by his generous advice both here and through private e-mail for nearly 3
years.
My Dakota is the first truck I ever owned and Ron has patiently answered all
my endless questions about it, while, in good humor, teasing me about my
engine choice. He never made me feel stupid for not knowing and always
offered a couple hours out of a weekend, here and there, to take a look at
whatever I was having problems with.
Ron was a wonderfully generously person and I would like to dedicate this
poem to him.
Being A friend comes naturally,
It is taking a moment out of your life
to give of yourself by bringing comfort, encouragement and peace.
You do it graciously....
and I THANK YOU.
Good bye Ron. I will miss you.
Love Always

<< Just saw the news on the DML tonight. I met Ron a couple of years ago
and he was one of the nicest guys you would ever meet. His son is great
and a wonderful boy. This loss to all of us from the Dak standpoint and
personally is significant and should cause all of us to stop and think
of how trivial most of what we do really is compared to the most
important things in life such as friends and family. The DML is an
extended family and we have lost a loving and wonderful brother. God
rest him and he is probably already negotiating getting a Dak Hex cab
with a 528 Hemi in heaven. It would be just about right!
