Boppy was one of the wisest and most thoughtful men I’ve ever known. I was truly blessed to grow up with him as my neighbor and as a best friend to his grandkids. When Ron spoke with you, he was fully present and engaged, even when you were just a kid. He walked that perfect line of nurturing the child in all of us while also treating us with enough respect to bring out our best selves. I’ll never forget the games he created for us during hurricanes/birthdays that made those times feel extra special. I am deeply grateful for the time he shared with me, and I will always love him dearly.
