I know very few people that equal Ron's zest for life,his passion, determination,and work ethic. I had the good fortune of watching him grow up as a good friend of my brother,and also worked with him at Merrill and UBS. We had many good times in hockey,skiing, and other activities.I know that he deeply loved his children and family. I will miss our regular conversations. RIP my good friend- Craig Nichols

I am so sorry to hear about Ron's passing. I have wonderful memories of our days growing up together in the Spgs. His passion for hockey was incredible and he was a fierce competitor. He had the hardest slapshot on our high school team. I remember "ducking for cover" many times when he let loose his shot. No one, not even the opposing goalies, wanted to be on the receiving end of one his rockets. My prayers go out to his family.

Ron, you will be sadly missed. You were the captain of our Bantam Hockey team "the Barons" you were 'the other coach' in our Junior High soccer club (I was on Ron Towner's "red" team) and you were a great help to me is our Junior high shop class. You and I had a lot of the same interests and for that I am indeed most honored to have known you! You will be sadly missed Ron!!

How fortuitous to have run into 'Ronnie' as I have always known him, in October on a rare trip to C Springs. It's not often you can still connect with someone you've known literally since 1st grade; we were inseparable at Broadmoor Elementary as kids. Was glad to have hugged him and seen his smiling face one last time.

I had the pleasure of working with Ron. What fun it always was. He was always up, always evolving himself, always looking to the future. He was always open to new ideas and cherished bringing these ideas to his clients, many of whom were friends. I am deeply shocked he is gone. I can't believe it. My heart goes out to Nicholas and Shelby in particular. I'm so sorry.
