<p class="MsoNormal">It is with a great personal sense of loss
and sadness that I inform the pattern community that Ronald E.
Van Putte passed away today. Ron had had bypass surgery and
seemingly was recovering from that with no issues. But
sadly after we returned from the Southeast Model Show, Ron had
to be admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and other heart
related issues from which he never recovered.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ron was an icon in the pattern world. He
started flying pattern in the early 60’s and was active to the
end. He did it all. Fierce pattern competitor, Contest
Director, Nats Event director multiple times, World
Championship judge, World Championship co-event director.
He was the anchor of the Eglin Aero Modelers for as long as
the club has existed and also ran a hobby shop for many, many
years. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I knew him for 40 years and we probably put
50,000 miles together on our vehicles going to contests over
the years. He was my best friend and I will miss him
greatly as the whole community will. I have no information
at this time on funeral plans. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Very respectfully<o:p></o:p></p>
