This is very sad. Ron helped a lot of us in a lot of ways, and will
always be remembered with gratitude.

Thank you, Ron.

I am sorry to hear that. Although I can't say I knew him, I always read his
posts and found them accurate and helpful. I am sure many, many others did
too and that body of useful advice is a worthwhile legacy.
