THE PASSING OF RON DANDY

10-14-51 TO 2-13-2010





RON AT VERNAL FALLS
YOSEMITE JULY 1968


IT IS WITH A DEEP SENSE OF LOSS THAT I REPORT THE PASSING OF MY GOOD FRIEND RON DANDY. HE PASSED AWAY THIS MORNING AFTER A VERY LONG BATTLE WITH CANCER. RON WAS A VERY CLOSE FRIEND THRU JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL. AFTER COLLEGE, WE WERE ROOMMATES UNTIL HE MARRIED HIS WIFE LINDA IN 1973. THE PICTURE ABOVE WAS TAKEN WHEN RON AND I DID OUR FIRST OF SEVERAL "ROAD TRIPS" TO CAMP IN YOSEMITE VALLEY. THAT PICTURE IS HOW I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER RON.
