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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Bob Ray<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
