With such a heavy and broken heart Ronald Gay, my friend for over 60 years passed away last night 6/9/22 at 11:23 p.m. from a heart attack. Words will never be able to convey the genuine love I have for Ronnie. We lived across the street from each other in Overlook on Stillwell. Even though we didn't have many classes together over the years and really had diverse interests (Ronnie was the sports guy and really amazing wood working craftsman and I was all about music and theater) we really spent a lot of time together right after high school. Ron, Rich Wells and I went everywhere together it seemed. From movies, shopping for cars, to each other's weddings. Ron actually got me my first "real" job at Goldman's Department Stores.
Please keep Debbie, Randy and Christa and their families in your prayers. Ronnie loved his family very much. He never quit talking about his grandkids.

I remember Ron as being a super nice guy with a positive personality.That counts for a lot.
Rest in peace Ron.

I was truly gutted to learn of his passing. Ron was an inspiration to me. I always enjoyed hearing from Ron. His family has my prayers.

Not long after high school graduation, I ran into Ron at JC Penny's in Dayton. He came right up to me and told me about his new faith in Christ. I told him that Linda Russell (Class of 1974) from Stebbins had invited me to church and because of that, I had become a Christian in the fall of 1975. It was an amazing reunion of two Stebbins wrestlers in that store. Many would have called us unlikely converts. He will be missed. We had many fun times in the wood shop. Praying for his family. Blessings to all!
