In memoriam, Ron Crickenberger

A note from Noelle Stettner (Ron's life partner)

Ron's funeral was not planned in advance. Ron was always positive about beating his illness, and fought very hard until the very moment of his passing. Up until the final two days, his family and I continued to hope and pray for a miracle. It is still inconceivable to me, his parter of 12 1/2 years, that he is gone. However, I understand that due to their love and respect for Ron, his friends and colleagues are anxiously awaiting the time to be able to express their feelings. As soon as final arrangements are made, the information will be posted here. We hope that bureacracy will not keep us from scattering his ashes at the Statue of Liberty or somewhere near it. Noelle
