I was more than a member of the class of "65, Ron and I grew up in the same neighborhood. It is hard to think that we are losing our class so quickly. My prayers and thoughts are with his family. I know that Ron fought the fight of his life for his life. God's hands now keep him safe till we meet againe.

Remembering our best days ever in High school then both of us drafted, each issued consecutive serial numbers. I thought that was neat, now once again drafted to heaven.
