Ron was a good friend and we transacted business too many times to count. He had some heart issues a number of years back , but he fought back and kept on enjoying life and our hobby with his wife and Family. Saw him last fall in White plains. Sad news to hear. My condolences to his family and his many friends.

I am really sorry to hear this. I enjoyed talking with him at the White Plains shows and Wilmington when he set up there. He was very knowledgeable and fair to deal with both selling and buying. He will be missed.

Sad news indeed!
Sad to hear of Ron's passing. Purchased many items from him over the years. He was always very friendly, and he would refer to me as "the Gibson guy" as he knew I collected George Gibson items.
My condolences to his family. Patrick

RIP to a genuinely kind person, colleague and, on a less serious note, the best head of hair in the hobby. I hadn't seen Ron in years, but he was one whose presence was always welcomed whenever I did.

That's so sad to read.
Back in the day, when I walked past his table at a show, he would shout at me "'38 Goudey!" (my main set for a long time). After I started Love of the Game, Ron was one of the first guys to wish me luck. I used to love visiting his table at shows, he always had a great assortment of interesting prewar material. Condolences to his friends and family. -Al

I purchased cards from Ron at the Philly Shows back in the day. A really nice guy!

That is so sad!
I saw Ron all the time at the Westchester shows and the National and spent much time talking to him. In fact, my collection would not be the same without him. So many of my favorite cards came from Ron, all bought raw, and I never doubted his vast knowledge. I saw him not too long ago at Westchester. My condolences to his friends and family. He will be missed!
