Ron Russell

 

  

Ron was always open and warm, ready to lend a hand.  He left us too soon, and our astonishment is eclipsed only by our sadness. 

 

He was killed in a takeoff accident at Furnace Creek, California (Death Valley) on Sunday, April 29, 2006.

 
Photos of Ron's memorial celebration, May 12, 2006, were provided by Ron's friend Ronald Sterba, of Salem.
