    What the hell ?

    I didn't even know Ron was sick.

    Ron gets to do the newcasts with Sylvan, Cheryl and Marvin in Heaven now.

    My condolences to the Stone family.

    My condolences to the Stone Family also. He is a legend in the news business and always treated everyone with respect and dignity. I wish current journalist would take note of the way Ron Stone and the other "legends" worked.

    I'll never forget him doing the Eyes of Texas. I loved that show.
