We first met Ron and his wife coming home from the 07 AMO meet in Denver , prince of a guy we both shared a love of Donohues . I was always in touch with him for the years after our first lunch and beverages . He will be missed greatly , so sad .     Pat & Linda

Tony, I think you should change the title of this thread to include Ron's name.  Lots of people will be saddened by this news.  I met him years ago when trading for parts.  One of the best.
