I never met O'le Ron, but I learned a lot from his posts over the years and wish I had had an opportunity to meet him. It won't be long before I'll finally have that opportunity. See you shortly, Ron. Lawson

BTW, what a great sentiment, thank you. He set a very high bar in our hobby. Most of us will be following him in the next decade or less. |

Thanks for keeping us updated Ruth. Ron shared a huge amount of flathead knowledge with us and for that we are grateful. He has helped us all.
Gentlemen share your knowledge with whoever will listen. Pass the torch as Ron did. As Hank Williams said, "I ain't getting out of this world alive". |

I'm saddened to hear this. I take solace that he went peacefully. I hope he rests in peace and keepin' 'um runnin' (as he'd say) in that big race in the sky. Thanks, Ron for all of the knowledge you've shared through the years and thank you Ruth for letting us know.

May you find peace in knowing that He led a life of positive action.
What ever he wanted to achieve he did. We'll all miss seeing his smiling avatar.

A very sad sad day indeed; condolences to Ruth and the Family.
Having been on the Barn since the 90s, I literally soaked up everything Ron had to say about Flatheads. A teacher from across the pond. It's because of him that I was infected with the Flathead bug. God speed Sir, I'll miss your posts, knowledge and humour on here. Respect. RIP. |

Another library has gone away. So sorry to hear of his passing. He was a wealth of knowledge, and his posts were a must read.
May God comfort the family and fill the emptiness in your hearts with His love. |
