I shall always remember Ron as the solider who served his country and led the people like myself through the ranks of AMA pattern.  John Fuque and  Ron Van Putte are the reason Huntsville, AL had quality AMA pattern competitors to attend their Rocket City Radio Controllers Pattern Meets since the late sixties; and helped put them on!.  I am sadden to hear of Ron passing and also tired of losing friends like Steve Helms locally here in New Market near Huntsville. 

 
Thank God for Ron or there might not have been a John Fuque to direct and support so much of our hobby.  I am a 76 year old four year triple heart bypass survivor and should be out there flying like Ron did after his rehab. All of you guys are the greatest and none of you can be replaced.  Kirk Grey dying before Ed Hartley... we can't control all of our maneuvers; I don't try to judge some.

 
Serving as the Huntsville, AL Rocket City Radio Controllers president in 1999-2001, I would like to state that I am notify all of John and Ron's buddies, as did Bryan Kennedy did by phone just this morning.  RIP
 
Sincerely,
Don Peck
