Ron Plesser

Ron was a respected colleague, a friend, a mentor, a wonderful advocate, a challenging opponent, and always a mensch. I had spoken with him the Friday before he died. We talked about his son recently off to Hamilton College, my hope for a future conference and his potential participation, our busy lives, wonderful families and how blessed we both were. A typical conversation with Ron, running the gamut from professional to personal. I am so sorry for his family and colleagues at Piper. What a terrible loss. I will miss him dearly.
