Ron was such a genuinely kind, talented and beautiful soul. I remember fondly helping him one day get back to his apartment. We talked about his works and how much the impact in his craft working on those meant to me and my late mother. He was incredibly sweet and such a beautiful soul.

Even though I didn´t concentrate in editing during my time at UNCSA, he never once didn´t watch my latest endevour even if for a personal little project. He brought the same vigor he did in class as he did then. He would tell it like it is but never made you feel bad about it. His input was always a great learning experience.

I remember him reading my first ever script and setting up a meeting about it with me. He didn´t have to. But he did. I also remember his most precious feedback about a scene, "Anyone who drinks a good scotch would never put it on the rocks. Bit of water, yes. Rocks, no." He and I laughed over that and I changed that in the script immediately. It still stands.

I always think of the conversations we had and how grateful he was for everything even in the midst of me being the one who´s grateful for him.

I´ll break open the Macallan for you tonight, Ron. I promise, no rocks this time.

May you rest well and peacefully. Thank you for being someone I was so lucky to learn from in and outside the classroom. Thank you for your cinematic legacy. It lives on as you, thank you. Thank you so much my friend.

My condolences to his family. Sending you all so much love and light during this time. Thank you for sharing him with all those who had the honor of learning from him. Thank you.

My deepest condolences to the family. Ron was one of the warmest, funniest, most supportive men I have met in my life. I had the privilege to meet with Ron each week of my senior year at UNCSA as he was my faculty advisor. These weekly meetings were a highlight of my week. Such a wonderful man who I have thought about often and will continue to do so. The attached photo is from graduation day 2010 in Winston-Salem.
