Importance: High

 

Greetings, We received word today that Ron Greene passed away after a long
illness. For the last 25 years or so Ron has lived in Des Moines and was an
active member of the Des Moines Chapter a good bit of that time. Before that
he lived in Boone where he served as president of the Central Iowa Chapter
of the NFBI for several years, and served on the Board Of Directors of the
NFBI from the early eighties until the mid-nineties. Some of you have heard
stories about the times that the NFBI had a float in the Puffer Billy Day
parades in Boone. Ron arranged for the float and did most of the decorating
of it for the years that we did that. He also was one of the main people to
handle the booth at the Iowa State Fair from the early eighties until the
late nineties.

 

He will be missed by those of us who knew him and worked with him. It is
because of the many hours of service and the great amount of caring of
people like Ron that we have the affiliate that we do today.

 

I am proud to say that Ron and I were close friends from the late fifties
when he graduated from IBSSS until his death today. 

 

Bob Ray
