Guestbook

  1. With all my love and daily prayers for God’s comfort and peace at this time and always. Ron was such an integral part of all of you. I see him in all your faces and hearts every time I see and talk with you. What an amazing, close-knit, loving family you are! It has been my pleasure to get to know him through the years -his laughter, humor, and uplifting attitude always brought a smile to my face!

  2. I will miss Ron’s happy attitude to what was in front of him. He was very good at problem-solving. When he spoke about his children, you could see that joyful energy that was captivating. I’m privileged to have fond memories of this great man.

  3. candleMr Starke,
    You were a great man and will be terribly missed. Your an inspiration to all of us. Rest well my friend

  4. To my friend Ron. We spent a few years working together and we always had a good time. RIP my friend. We will all see each other again.
    Rest peacefully, Brad Sanguinetti

  5. candleRonald, we are truly at a loss for words.. You and I have been friends for more than 60 years. We grew up together, went to school together, attended college together, you in your cuda, me in my camaro. We finished college, got married, had kids and remained friends. Even though I was on the west coast and you on the east coast we stayed in touch. In my mind you were a gentle giant, with a heart just as big. You had quite a sense of humor and were always fun to be with. God bless you and all of your family. Rest in peace and know that this is not good bye for one day we will meet again.

    Love,
    Howie & Linda

  6. Ron,
    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!!!!

  7. 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.

  8. candleWhat a great guy, I bought 2 motorcycles from him. Just a great person, would go to his shop and talk about everything, cycles, our accidents just everything. He will be missed and I’m never getting rid of my bike. It will always remind me of him.
