Wow, I just sent an email to him before I checked the thread here. This is awful. I owe him so much. Life is so fragile.

The Ford diesel community, especially the 6.0 community, has now lost 2 extremely important powerhouse resources.

Wow... I was hoping for just a rumor, but I see his son has confirmed it.

Godspeed DTR.

Man, I'll never understand this world. Someone like DTR leaves for work one morning and doesn't arrive, yet the lazy scum among us flirt with disaster daily and live to be a ripe old age? I know God is in control but often times it is hard to understand His plan. RIP Ron and God speed. Condolences to family and friends and trust that the Lord does have a place for Ron in His grand plan.

To try and bring some joy to Ron's rememberance I would like to point out one of my favorite of Ron's videos. He was trying to explain the noise to diagnose a base engine problem during cracking. Wha wha whaa, wha wha whaa, wha wha whaa. LOL. Anyone who has seen should remember it. He made me laugh and I will always remember that part.

It seems some met him and knew him personally. I never had the pleasure to do so.

Do any of you have any stories about Ron that you think might bring some smiles to the members of FTE as we remember a man who shared great knowledge with us all and never knew how important he was to us?
