I knew Ron from the ASGA golf group and played many rounds with him within the group and outside the group with other friends. He was a great person. He was part of the Friday breakfast group who ate at the Collegeville diner. We called ourselves the ROMEO’s (Retired Old Men Eating Out).

I was so sad to hear this news! Ron was a fellow member of ASGA golf where I meet him. I spent many of outings with him and he was always so kind to talk to. He will be greatly missed. We will all see him at the eternal 19th hole!
Ron was an ASGA golf buddy of ours – both Rene & I were sad to hear of his passing.
I have known Ronnie since grade school. We both lived in the same development very close to St. Rose Parish in North Wales. We were very good friends and we both loved golf and travel. Ronnie was responsible for me meeting my wife. He convinced me to go to a Catholic singles dance at Boat House row where I met my wife. Ronnie was one of the most positive and friendly persons that I ever met.
Rest in peace my friend.

I attended St. Rose and Lansdale Catholic with Ron and he even helped to coach my Babe Ruth League baseball team back in ’63. He showed up years later to check me into Lansdale Hospital and started my golf rounds at Mainland Golf Course. You could search everywhere but will not find a nicer, more caring person than Ron. Rest in piece old friend…
Rest in peace my dear,dear friend. Thankyou for the memories.
