"Boston" my friend.

What a guy Ron was. “Boston” as we knew him! Marching to a different drum as long as I can remember. I met Ron when we were in the Air Force stationed at Lowry AFb in the 70’s. We met when he started going out with a mutual friend of my future wife and I, Donna Pflug. We had many, many adventures back then and lots of fun together with camping, hiking and fishing trips. Ron took up the saxaphone back then and learned to play it. That showed his determination on learning and trying new things. Ron and Donna hooked up as a couple and Ron was transferred to Pensacola Florida where he and Donna lived until her accidental death in 1977. Ron got out of the service after that and relocated to Denver where he set up his own business, REM Systems in Englewood, Colorado. At the time, I was unemployed and he hired me to help him build out his first and if I may say so, successful computer business. We spent many an evening building display tables and racks for his new business. We remodeled the store, painted it and recarpeted and opened with a bang due to his stubborness for deadlines. Ron was very sure of himself and when he set his mind to something, that was it, period! I remember seeing him at his desk on those sometimes late nights, sitting at his desk, deep in thought about one thing or the other. He never did anything without thinking it over. That was when Ron was selling PC’s, printers, and PC periferals. It didn’t take too long for Ron to figure out that there was a better market in mainframe consulting and so he got out of the small computer business and moved on to bigger and better things. He met Sharon, got married, had two wonderful children and went on with his life and career which was very important to him. My wife and I lost touch with Ron and his family when our children were older and in school except for the occasional band competition, card or letter but have always held him, Sharon, Daniel and Betty in our hearts. We are so very sorry at his untimely passing but know he is no longer troubled by his affliction. Our hearts and prayers go out to the close and extended families of you all. Love Scott and Mona
