I don’t know what to say, except it was an honor to know you my whole life. You defended me when Jacoby was being an asshole , you really didn’t have to say much…ha! You were my first college roommate . We went to visit Sullivan and we almost drove off a cliff…..ahh, the good ole days and we met our future college roommate unknowingly in Lake George. We drifted apart after college (that’s on me) and reunited later. You went through so much with your accident, and I said I was going to sell my motorcycle you said , why? Not because of me!!! I don’t regret riding!!! You said Keep it and keep riding. You were a pillar of strength the way you handled your situation. To this day I’m still in awe. You built a great life with truly amazing kids and an amazing wife! (Go Nancy!) . You know you hear about people who said they went to schools or grew up with famous people like an ex president or famous Rock star etc…. Well I can say with pride I grew up with you and I have them all beat! Take care buddy, you will always be on my mind and in my thoughts. Go Yankees!!!!
To Ron’s family, I drove past his shop the other day and noticed it cempty. Curious I searched the internet to find out why. I would get my bike inspections at his shop, he was always friendly and seemed to be a genuine nice person. May he rest in peace.
