Got a call from Ron’s wife this morning. Ron had a massive heart attack and passed in his sleep last night. Funeral arrangements not certain at this time. I will miss my friend dearly, he was one of a kind.
Wow, saddened to read this Larry, Condolences to His Family, Ron was a great guy and quite the Joker at times. But always a friend and the guy you wanted to hang around in the parking lot, talking cars. R.I.P. Ron
So sorry to hear this Larry. Prayers for his wife, family, and friends. I enjoyed reading Ron’s posts over the years and his humorous ribbing. Definitely one of a kind. RIP Mooney.
Oh no.... I'm absolutely crushed to hear this. I always had a blast hanging with Moon at events and looked forward to the outrageous tales at dinner and in hotel parking lots. He could be polarizing to some, but he had a personality a big as the city he haled from. Shared a ton of laughs with him, he will be missed deeply. RIP buddy. BG won't be the same without ya.
WOW So Sad ! The man with the big smile , the firm hand shake and a good joke . Prayers to his family . Bill
Wow... what sad news. I'm glad to have spent time with him at a few events this year and many in the past. What a year of loss this year has been!!! Prayers for all that know him, he will live on in our memories. He was a Classic.....
Make no mistake; Ron could be a real prick. But in spite of his prickness (or because of it), you always knew where you stood with him. If he didn't like you, you were setup for misery. But if he liked you, you were treated like royalty (provided you could handle his ball-busting). Years ago during a return caravan from the BPG Nationals, all the beer and bad food took its toll on my digestive system, and despite my attempt to find a gas station with a rest room, I was a minute too late. LOL So, I weighed my options carefully. I could tell no one and after exiting the restroom we could have continued home, or I could tell just ONE person that I "couldn't hold it" - that one person being Mooney. I knew that if I told Ron the "shart incident" would live forever. So I told him. And of course, I have endured years of public abuse at his hands. And have cherished every minute of it. Rest in Peace, Moonshot. I'll see you again someday.
OMG. So sorry to hear this. Mooney was one of a kind and a good friend. He will be missed. My condolences to the whole family. May his memory be a blessing.
It has been a pleasure to know Moon. His quick wit and stories were always good for a laugh. Godspeed Ron
