This picture is awesome and was taken prior to the trail ride to the Memorial Service. Briggs knew going up from Leesburg that we were paying Respects to a lost friend and was still cheerful. We made it home Safely and I asked Briggs why he seemed so happy and carefree in the picture. He told...

He's Home now and will always live in our hearts where he has always been. I'm Thankful to have known Ron and miss the 2 or 3 phone calls a month with him introducing himself as "Ron, 73M819" from Steel Soldiers. His ashes are spread on land that he spent many hours on here in the U.S.A. They...

Eli, I'll answer before Swiss see's this, ABSOLUTELY but no CUCV's, Ron really hated those. Even my very nice one, he preferred Big Trucks and your M923A2 would be perfect to drive to the cookout. Joseph

You are very Welcome Ma'am. I heard it quite a few times today on my way to Charleston, SC and back and thought kindly on the memories with Ron. I have no good words that could comfort you. I can only say this, he went to Glory doing what he loved. I listened to a sermon on the radio that...

I agree PB, we all could go on and on about stories of Ron. I think this thread is moving in a positive direction. Grief goes through a few stages and we've all gone through disbelief, slow acceptance to what has taken place and now let's fill this thread up with Joyful of Memories of Ron...

It's funny reading the back and forth experiences with Ron about trading and swapping. This last Ga Rally we made a deal to swap thimbles and outer nuts from my M923A0 for the correct lug nuts that should be used on the rear of a M939 truck with singles. He gave me all 40 lug nuts in a single...

A fellow member called me to tell me the news today. I truly regret that Ron has been taken from his family and us as his extended family. I first met him at the GA Rally 8 years ago. Many years and a ton of phone calls later I definitely considered him a good friend. He taught me quite a...
