What a totally fantastic way to leave this earthly existence.

May he find peace and happiness in the next life.

They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
~Edgar Allan Poe, "Eleonora"

Here's to being a wide awake dreamer and may we all continue to inhabit this wonderful world that Ron invisioned...

Death awaits us all but one truly never goes away as long as thier memory survives. Peace and Rest be his but may we never forget to honor his memory.
