It doesn't seem that long ago that I met Ron in junior high. We  played so many sports together over the years ..Ill never forget  Ron hitting the longest drive I had ever seen on hole # 9 at Thornapple CC !!! What a ton of fun we had driving in the dune buggy  on & off road.  (the burns on my hands have finally healed after Ron made me touch the tail pipes of the  recently driven  Mercer mobile ). Fond memories of hanging out together at papa joes & scioto trails. We probably drank way too many beers. Ron was a regular attendee at our 4th of July parties. As good as an athlete as he was his talents didn't carry over to throwing horse shoes. Ron was loved by all. Unfortunately I don't think he realized how much. Hopefully he does now. We already miss him.

Very glad to see the video tribute.  May Ron Rest In Peace.

Ron and I were in Cub Scouts together. Great guy, great family. Godspeed Ron

Very sad to hear this news. The Mercer family welcomed us to UA and we remained friends for many years after that.

Ron and his mother, Gloria, were our close personal friends, which began as Andover Road neighbors. We are grateful for many cherished memories of our friendship which continued through the years. We offer our heartfelt condolences to their family. - Carolyn and George McConnaughey

I was in a terrible place on 4/16/1991 with no where to turn.  Ron had given me his phone number months earlier and said to call him if I ever needed anything.  When I called him that night, he was on a date (of course), but he dropped everything and was by my side in less than 30 minutes.  We stayed up the entire night talking and my life was transformed.  Quite literally, there is no telling where I would be today without Ron, or if I would be here at all.  I moved away for 12 years after that and tried to stay in touch.  When I moved back, we had the old gang up for a New Years Eve party and Ron joined us.  I reminded him of that night and he barely remembered it stating simply, "that is what we do for each other".  Unfortunately my attempts to return the gift to Ron continued to fall short.
Ron, my entire family is eternally grateful to you and your family.  Rest now my friend.

Ron, what a great guy you were! We met as Big 8 baseball teammates. Our dad’s managed the team together, I can’t remember it’s name. You were a good baseball player! From that point through high school we played on many teams together culminating with you as the starting quarterback for the 1973 Golden Bear football team. I had hoped to see you this past summer at the UA reunion festivities. I don’ think I ever told you what a great guy you are. And even though we didn’t see each other much over the years I will miss you old friend.

My deepest condolences. Ron always made me smile. His enthusiasm made him bigger than life. Although I had not seen him in years I will always remember how he made me feel as though no matter what I was  talking about he would give me one hundred percent attention. I will miss him.
