My condolences to his family. > > (As a complete aside, I take it you enjoy Steve Perry’s books?) Yes, enjoyed the Matador Trilogy; the follow on books slightly less so. Reading was a passion that Ron and I shared. He was the one who introduced me to Steve Perry’s work. When I found his postings here and saw his handle on the forum, I figured I would use something from the same universe. ---

Thanks to all for sharing your support. I’ll be sharing this with his mother, and I know it will mean a lot to her, and I know that he would be genuinely touched to see this as well. ---

Oh god, how awful. He was very supportive in the Couch to 5K thread that I started some years ago when I began running. ☹ Terrible news. But thank you for posting to let us know, MusashiFlex. ---

Well that seriously sucks. \*\* Khadaji\*\* was a ‘face’ I always associated with upbeat and positive posts. So cruel to be taken so young. ☹ All the best to you **MusashiFlex** and to all Ron’s family. kam ---

What the hell? That’s terrible. Well, it looks like I have a suitable name for next year’s Steelers thread. I think he would be honored, being as big a fan as I am. RIP. ---
