Ron was a long time friend of my dad’s since the 1960s.
He was a physicist like my dad, but decided to do finance instead.
My dad was his client until my dad died in 2014. I thought I met Ron at my dad’s memorial,
though Rose mentioned we could have met long ago at a party.
I turned to Ron to help me manage my and my step-mother’s accounts after my dad died.
He told me he didn’t take a percentage because he didn’t think that was fair. I agreed!
From the beginning, we had long talks about investing where I got schooled by someone who
really understood how it all works. I trusted Ron. I depended on Ron. I loved Ron.
He always took my calls. He would tell me to hang on and I could hear him telling someone
else he would call them back.
Hope it wasn’t any of you!
He always had time for me. We would have long discussions about investments, economy,
politics, environment and his heroic climate scientist daughter, Rose.
I always knew I could turn to Ron for the truth. He was just a really intelligent, decent,
nice man. And I believed he cared about me.
Another thing he had in common with my dad, was optimism. Every time I called him to check
on how he was doing since he was hospitalized, he said he was going to be in the office again
soon. I hoped that would happen too.
I feel really lucky that I had a chance to know him and I will miss him.
I am so sorry for your incredible loss.
