Ron gave me my dad back. He was there to speak with my dad after my mom’s passing, guiding dad through the darkest possible times when no one else could reach him. Ron helped my dad to find again how life can be beautiful, fun, and interesting. Every once in awhile I will say to dad, or dad will say to me, ‘What would have happened without Ron’? He performed a miracle. We both are so lucky to have crossed paths with the amazing Ron James. Neither of us have met anyone like him. We are both greatly indebted to Ron. More...
