RON KENNEDY was a happy man who inspired everyone he knew to be kind and honorable  -- Michelle Gibson O'Grady

I've known Ron since the fourth grade. He was the kind of person it was difficult not to like and set the kind of examples in life that we would all do well to emulate. I don't know if he ever had a "bad day" because he was always so positive and upbeat. He was an excellent student, a beloved classmate, and a truly good person that I was proud to call my friend -- Frank Lucas
