I first met Ron at the MTSU science building project when I was an apprentice at the local 572 union. Ron took me under his wing and I ended up being his apprentice. I remember how much fun it was to work with Ron. He had such a great personality and a kind loving heart. Ron was a mentor to me and I wouldn’t be where I am in my career today if it wasn’t for Ron’s wisdom and his willingness to teach and guide me. Until we meet again my friend.
