Ron "Dad" will always have a profound influence on my life. He was the hardest working person I know. He was there for me whenever I needed someone to encourage me in my love of gymnastics. Dad also coached my junior high softball team and he was on the sidelines for most football and basketball games where I was a cheerleader. Dad would write me letters of wisdom and encouragement at pivotable moments in my life. He typed them out, because his handwriting was abysmal! To this day I continue to read them - grateful for a father who was genuinely excited for my successes through life. Dad was "Ron-Ron" to my children and stepchildren, all of whom adored him.
