Condolence From: Lisa Richter
Condolence: Working on a statistical project about ski jumping, I stepped over so many names of jumpers who have died way too young.
Ron, I didn't know you, but I just hope that you are alright up there and watch over those who you love and who love you :)
Have a good time up there! =)

Condolence From: Greg Spivak
Condolence: I attended public school (Five Mile) with Ron for a number of years. While my sentiments regarding Ron's atheletic prowess echo those that have been described here, I would like to add that he was also, quite simply, a great individual. Unfortunately, I lost touch with Ron after those days, although I did run into him from time to time. Nonetheless, I've always considered him as a good friend of mine from grade school. I'm quite saddened to hear of his passing. My deepest condolences to his family.

Condolence From: Dan Pringle
Condolence: I was fortunate enough to know Ron at Five Mile.
I knew Ron as a great athlete and always one of the first
to get picked in recess baseball games. As I've lived in
the States now for 13 years I haven't had a chance to run
into old schoolmates but Ron was one person that I would
have made a point of stopping in a crowd to say hi to.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Dan Pringle

Condolence From: Glenn Rothenburger
Condolence: I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere condolences to Ron's family and friends. I had been working on some issues with Ron for the past 4 months. During that time Ron shared many of his ups and downs in life as far back as his days with the National Ski Jumping Team. I must say that I was extremely saddened when I heard of his passing. I shared with Ron and will always believe that he had the potential to do a great many things upon having some issues addressed. His struggles have been many and my only hope is that Ron is now at peace. He will be missed. Take care. Glenn Rothenburger, Rapid Response Worker, Alpha Court.
