Tom Bruce says
I knew Ron from Mr. Paul Johnson’s house on Wallace where he would stop by, sometimes while working & play “Tonk”. I also lived next to his parents on Linwood where he would stop by frequently to assist them. His Dad, Murl would allow me to pick tomatoes over the fence. Ron was a Great guy who loved talking golf and IU basketball. I haven’t seen him recently but I will never forget the fond memories of the time I shared with him.
