I’ve known Ron for at least 14 years and he is well known all over the country and in the WCS community in particular. Ron’s passing will be a great loss to the community, and even more so for his family and friends, especially at this time of year.  Our condolences go out to those closest to him, and we wish them peace and strength to help them through their, and our, tragic loss.  We have all been ‘connected’ to him in some way.  If you’ve ever danced at our event in the past (Floorplay New Years Swing Vacation), as well as this year’s to come, or at many of the events around the country, you are dancing on his floor.  I’m sure he will rest well knowing he is still serving the dance community he loved so much.
