I worked with Ron at Integrity Biofuels. He was the most amazing man I have ever met. We would often have “deep” conversations about religion and life in general. He was extremely intelligent, always interested in learning more. He really touched my life in a special way. The world lost a very special individual on August 8th. I will never forget this amazing man. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I served with Ron in the Peace Corps in Thailand, and I have many fond memories of him from that time.
He was a smart, funny and good man.
My deepest sympathy to his family in this time of sorrow.

Chariss, Bea and Isaac,
My thoughts are with you at this time of sorrow. I’m so glad that I got to spend some time with all of you a few weeks ago. You have had a long time to prepare for this, but there is no way to actually be ready for it. We will all miss Ron and his wonderful attitude.

Ron was a dear friend at Tri-State, and I was trying to find him again these last couple of years. He was truly a joy to be around. I have many memories from our days at TSU that I look back on and smile still. He will be deeply missed by all.
My condolences to all his family. -
I was great friends with Ron at Tri State University, and my heart and prayers go out to the family in your time of loss

I only knew Ron casually from Tri-State University. He was in my English class and always sat in the back row. I admired him because he was so intelligent in a quiet way. I knew he would be successful in life. And I never forgot him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
