Ron was the first person I knew to own a calculator.  They cost about $400 in 1973 and did about 64 functions.  He always loved technology.  He owned Messick Computers and kept very busy keeping everyone computing efficiently.  I loved to take my computers to his shop and discuss the latest in life and politics.  My kids even enjoyed going to his shop.  He was very personable, informed, opinionated and fun.  Years after his death, my family talks about the computers that he built for us and how we miss his influence.
