We are truly sorry to hear about Ron.
We always looked forward to your stop overs in Quartzsite to play bridge.
He will missed for sure.. He was a very good player and you two made a excellent team..
Marty I want to express my sincere condolences on the passing of Ron. We always had lots of laughs and fun at the bridge table. If and when you feel like playing, I don’t have a regular partner on Thursdays. I hope you will give me a call and we can be partners. Not as good looking as Ron, but I play a mean hand of bridge.

Dear Ron, We have known each other since we were in our early twenties & you attending B.C.I.T. & me at the Vancouver Vocational School. My cousin Barry was attending B.C.I.T. & he introduced us, & the rest is history, they say. We have always kept close friends & visited with our wives, we had lots of fun. Your a awesome guy & I will miss you dearly.
