I'm shocked, and heartbroken for you, AC. Although I never met Ron in real life, he made it clear through his posts what kind of a man he was. He always encouraged others, and his ample knowledge and experience were present in his huge contributions to this board. He was a great afficianado of flamenco, humble about his considerable skill as a flamenco guitarist, and above all, a man in love with his family. AC, your dad was a great guy, and we are all in debt to him for the knowledge, humor, wisdom, and dignity he brought to this forum. RIP RonM. You will be missed.

My dearest Ron. When I timidly joined the foro, years ago, I shared a composition, and your kind, welcoming reply never left me nor did your indefatigable, heartwarmingly generous attention to every post I wrote since. I was always impressed with your scrupulous regard for everyone here, your fatherly encouragement for every beginner or self-doubting musician, your wise and balanced intercession whenever disagreement erupted among the childish members -we all are after all. You were pivotal to the complex architecture of egos who contributed here, instrumental to the success of the foro; you were the engine of the many wonderful activities we enjoyed. I want to re dedicate to you that melancholic music, my Serenade n. 3, I shared then when I first joined and that always makes me think of you. Good bye dear Ron, you have a permanent place in my prayers and in my fond memories of this foro.

this is so upsetting. my deepest and heartfelt condolences to his family and friends and all of us here at foro. wether in the real world or our virtual world he touched so many with his gift of life, humour, insight, encouragement and understanding of the human condition. i found Ron to be the most welcoming presence here, quick witted yet thoughtful and compassionate. Always felt safe and reassured. able to be thought provoking and provided so many belly laughs...a rare combination. special. such an articulate writer... :~( i feel truly lucky to have interacted with Ron, for him to share his words with me, he showed us that people always come first, regardless of belief or opinion..foro's greatest diplomat. Never forgotten. Al 'A man's good name is his best monument'
