So much talent, drive and zest for life. You accomplished so much. Many others would have been satisfied with just a fraction of what you did. Few people know what you had to overcome to do all that. We all still miss you, Ron.



I was privileged to have worked with Ron in DSI, Mosaix, Lucent and Avaya, as co-workers and his coach. Ron was always there to help others with his expertise, and he had a vast knowledge in just about everything. Ron was an effective communicator and mentor, who was dedicated to his work and had a deep passion in training others. He was a private and complex person, who enjoyed simple things and good laughs. At todays memorial service in Snohomish WA, we saw Rons life in pictures, and listened to his family friend and colleagues reflection. Fond memories of Ron will always fill our hearts. May Gods peace be with you, Robin, and his family and friends at this most difficult time.



My deepest sympathy and my prayers are with you.



My thoughts and prayers are with your family.  Ron helped many people and I am grateful to have known him.



Ron was a great friend, mentor and colleague. I have known him for 7 years and enjoyed working with him very much at Avaya, on several projects, boot camps and was fortunate to learn a lot from him. He will be deeply missed.   Robin, I am very sorry for your loss and my deepest condolences to you and your family.



My prayers are with you, I am very sorry for your loss.



I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Ron for the last six years. He was a thorough gentleman and a great Team player. He would be missed a lot in Avaya.    May his soul rest in peace. I express my sincere condolences to his family.    Nikhil Deshpande



I've worked with Ron for over 7 years with Avaya.  Ron was much more than a co-worker.  He always went out of his way to help anyone and everyone.  He was always cheerful and fun to be around.  He will be dearly missed.



Robin, my thoughts and prayers are with you.    Yin



Robin - I've always thought of you and Ron as a very special couple. I still remember back in the days of the Alameda office when you used to be waiting for him to finish up whatever bootcamp or training he was working. You were always so excited to be with him. In the last couple of years when I was working an issue for him and would ask about you, his voice would soften, it was very sweet.  You are both in our prayers.    Love, Alyssa and family



With deepest sympathy for the family in this time of sorrow.



I worked with Ron for a number of years at Avaya.  I always looked up to him for his sheer brilliance and professionalism.  I will carry many fond memories of Ron both inside and out of the office.      Robin, my family's thoughts and prayers are with you.    Darrin Bebout



We all respected Ron for his dedication, selfless committment and exceptional technical abilities. Ron was a very private person but I have many fond memories of times spent together, especially taking communion together when Ron introduced me to the Orthodox Church one Sunday. May God give you rest, Ron, and fill you with peace, Robin, during this difficult time.



You will be missed my friend.  You were a good friend and a brilliant Colleague.

Ron was a talented man, a great coworker, and a wonderful person. He will be truly missed.



Ron was a great friend and colleague, an excellent teacher (he was an instructor in the navy), and a fun guy to hang with. As I recall traveling with Ron on a project in Toronto in the winter, sharing a good laugh when I insisted on taking a taxi to go a couple blocks to the client site... watching Super Bowl in a sports bar (Bronco won that game)... those were the good times. Ron will be deeply missed... -denny
