I had not seen Ron since the fire puja at DDL 10 years ago? Three months ago he called me as I was leaving a werma feast in Annapolis, NS. Don’t know how he got my number. Wanted to share old kasang stories, war stories he called them. That was our connection. We had some good stories to share! Told me he was married to a beautiful young lady. Had some health issues. We said goodbye. I was amazed! Ron was unlike anyone. His devotion to the Vidyadhara was so simple, true, solid like rock. One story-at seminary Bedford Springs, late night after talk, the elevator going three flights to Rinpoche’s quarters was not working. Ron quickly grabbed my right forearm at the elbow, told me to grab his left elbow making a seat. We carried Rinpoche quickly up three flights of stairs, Rinpoche broadly smiling and laughing all the way.
