Obituary for Ronald W. Connor

Ron was full of charm, kindness, a huge heart and always had a good story. He told stories that kept everyone’s attention. Once he was hitch hiking from some city he was in at the time and Mickey Rooney & his chauffeur picked him up and drove him the entire way home. He did some things you only read about.
