Ronald's Memory Wall

We encourage you to share your most beloved memories of Ronald here, so that the family and other loved ones can always see it. Share your favorite stories or comment on those shared by others.

So many fond memories of Ron's joy for life and creative talents. Jim and I spent our second night of wedded bliss with Ron on our way to Detroit back in October 1982. Many memorable moments at our Watermelon reunions. Am blessed to have two (2) pieces of his artwork. One is a Pueblo in Taos.
Gratitude to his family for being devoted caretakers. Ron's spirit and legacy will exist forever through his students who express their skills taught by an engaged teacher.

Ron has been my best friend since 1967. I am so thankful for all of the memories we shared. I laughed more with him than anyone. We took many trips together, played lots of Charade games with friends, drank our share of beer and wine and closed down many of NB’s lounges.

My home is filled with his artwork, gifts he’s given over the years, and his presence will be felt in our hearts and home forever. While it was his time to go, I am broken-hearted.

Thank you Cookie, Steve and Kris for taking care and looking after him these past years. He likely would not have made it this far without you making sure his health care was being managed correctly.

Much Love,
Pat Braden-Herda
