I just got a call from Ron's ex wife, she said Ron passed away last night. He had been fighting cancer for some time. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ron when he came to Santa Barbara to give lessons and clinics. He was passionate about the game and sharing it with others.

Sorry to hear it. His 90/90 is probably the easiest aiming system out there.

While I spoke with Ron several times over the years (and we were going to meet up in NYC a few years ago, but I was already scheduled to meet up with Hal Houle in PA at the same time), I didn't meet him personally until last year at the SBE. He was staying with my friend Kaznj. Certainly an interesting man. My condolences to his family and friends.

Well shit. This sucks. I met Ron through a friend of mine and spent a weekend with him and his family about 6 years ago. What a great guy. One of best. RIP my friend.

Sorry to hear the loss of one of your best friends.
I don't know who he was, although I heard he taught others.
In my book, a great attribute in a human being to be able to impart knowledge.

Be well, SpiderWebComm.

Ron was a great guy for the pool world. I learned 90/90 from him in NYC and he frequented the poker games I played in living in nj. I remember him always willing to come down to the poolroom if anyone asked. The pool world lost another gem and he will be missed.

Ron was a great guy with a ton of knowledge about many parts of the game. I talked to him several times and he always knew how to get the idea across and the problem solved.

A real loss for not only the pool world, but for all that knew him.

Best,
Mike

Im trying to help his daughter locate his cues. Not sure if he sold them before he passed or if he leaves his case at one of the poolrooms he frequented. If anyone can help me help his daughter, I'd DEEPLY appreciate it. If he sold them, that's fine - no worries - she just needs to know so she doesn't look. If not, she obviously wants them back since they meant a lot to her dad.

Any help from players in the NYC region would be appreciated.

Ron was a nice and gentleman. He showed me his systems and told some stories. Drove him home a few times. I enjoyed his company. RIP
