Ron is in my avatar and has been for many years. Contemplating...

Re: Update on Ol' Ron
 

Thanks Ruth, for the update on Ron, as well as sharing your blog writings. Your blogs remind me of those of my sister, who is an artist as well as a PhD in literature. Thanks, especially for caring for Ron at this point in his life. I never met Ron but feel as if I know him through his writings on the FordBarn. We'll miss his insightful input.

Wishing the best to you and yours, especially for Ron as he makes the transition.

Gentlemen, Ron is gone. He went peacefully.

Now he belongs to the ages.

With love,

Tipping my cap and my cup.

Re: Update on Ol' Ron

Re: Update on Ol' Ron
 

Having never met Ol' Ron but he made me feel like one of "his boys." I love looking at the pictures posted and especially the video! He just made me feel good. Now it's just a big lump in my throat. He was the kind of guy that does that to you when you realize he will only be with us in spirit. I plan to make it a point to go back and read all of his posts if I get to hang around for nearly all nine thousand of them. What a generous man he was!!!!

RIP Ol’Ron … Look forward to seeing you on the other side..

God’s Blessings to the family….

Re: Update on Ol' Ron
 

Godspeed Ol’ Ron. Thanks for all of your knowledge and many contributions on the Barn!

Re: Update on Ol' Ron
 

Thank you Ruth for the update and for takeing care of my old friend. Many years ago when I first joined Fordbarn, Ron, was the man who stepped up to teach me flatheads. Countless emails and a few phone calls he was able to bang some knowledge into my head. 100 plus motors later I think of him often. He is a Man among men and will not be forgotten.

Re: Update on Ol' Ron
 

From those of us who absorbed what Ol'Ron had to say but didn't have the opportunity to interact or say 'thanks' for sharing what he knew, condolences and prayers on his passing. From reading Ruth's posts, it reminds me of all the folks older than myself that have moved on in the nearly 50 years since I began taking an interest in old Fords as a teenager - the stories they had or the passion they shared for something that signified a touchstone from their youth. Every person has a story to tell, and some could really tell a story - Ol' Ron was one of those. Godspeed, sir.

We lose their Knowledge, same problem with our local RGs 9, 10 and 85 in Oregon. RIP Newc

Re: Update on Ol' Ron
 

Ol' Ron, I feel like I knew you. And I learned much about using and re-using old Ford parts to keep them on the road. So much knowledge passed on to so many. Mission accomplished... And by a darn good man. Thank You.

Re: Update on Ol' Ron
 

Thanks Ruth. God bless the old man. His influence spread beyond the shores and he was respected by all flathead nuts irrespective of location. Mart in England.

Re: Update on Ol' Ron
 

May God bless everyone. Ron's race is won and with the knowledge he gave, his flathead will continue to win! Steve
