I've been around for some time now ... while I may not have posted often. I have often found my answers using the Search and since I'm no expert, by any measure, I haven't often been able to offer answers to those in need. I guess this makes me a lurker.
I am compelled, however, to reply to this thread. Ron has helped, not only myself, but probably hundreds of others in search of automation answers. He always told you what you needed to know. Not necessarily the direct answer, but indeed, the right direction to discover the answer. Kinda like the old saying, "Give a man a fish ... you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish ... you feed him for life". This is how I will remember him.
There is no doubt, this thread is a GREAT HONOR, in reflection of a man that has touched many, many lives in a positive manner. This is, after all, the very definition of success, in my opinion. Not successful in the sense of money or power, but in the sense of "look at all these people that have kind words to say about him." I could only hope that my own passing would generate this kind of turn-out. That would be something worthy of aspiring to ... to have this type of success.
I think Ron is truely imortal, given the memories that we all have of him. His family should be proud of his contribution to society. I am very pleased to have had even a small exposure to Ron's know-how and experience. I'm sure his answers will live on for the life of this forum.
Ron, I wish you a FULL AUTOMATIC journey ahead. PARTY ON my friend! You will be missed.
