Kay, I was so saddened upon hearing of Ron’s sudden death. Always enjoyed meeting him and talking politics with him. I am just betting that he and John are right up there talking about RI, the Boston Red Sox, and certainly the Democrats. My grandchildren loved having Ron as their sub and they are devastated. God Bless, Kay, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
