Ron never met a stranger. He was legendary, not because of sports or music or politics but because he was an endless well of kindness and friendship- a soul who embraced his own uniqueness and loved everyone regardless of their differences. He embodied everything that makes Oxford wonderful.

I didn't know Ronzo well. We ran into each other quite a few times on the square. He always said hello and spoke to me with genuine interest and made me feel like the only person in the room. When I moved to Nashville, I didn't see him for 5 years. I ran into him at Jim Deez's book reading at Parnanus Books in Nashville and he walked up to me, called me by my name (even though we weren't close and hadn't seen each other in so long), and talked to me like we were old friends. I've never met anyone as genuine as Ronzo and Oxford will never be the same again. Love to all his friends, family, and citizens of Oxford.

For sure! My Uncle Ron loved Oxford with his all and all the time! I loved being in Oxford of the summers of my youth.

I'm thinking Faulkner might want someone interesting to talk to on that bench.
