Well this is horribly sad news. I was wondering why I hadn’t heard back from Ron for so long.
Ron was a cool guy. He marched to the beat of his own drum, but he was a good guy.
I met Ron in Korea back around 2012. He loved his time there, but missed his family back in the States. He was teaching English to young Korean students. They loved Ron, as he did them. When he changed schools one year, his students gave him a plaque, thanking him for being a great teacher.
I will miss Ron. The world was a better place with him in it.
