I am sorry to learn of Ron’s passing. He was a special person who was a character with a big heart. I rode many miles with him on the way to Sturgis when we went there with the Viking Chapter club. I will miss his big personality, helpful attitude and Sharon’s wonderful presence and support. God speed, I know you are now in the Chopper group with the Lord.
I onew Ron for more than 30 years and can confidently say that a man could not ask for a more generous and loyal friend. Ron would drop anything he was doing to help a friend of family.
I have so many good memories and stories of Ron, many of which revolve around motorcycles. Ron was always ready to ride, restore or help fix or an old Harley or Indian.
I will miss my buddy “Snidley”. Ride in peace old friend.
