Dave and I met in college…25 years ago. Thus, I’ve know Ron for more than half my life. My friendship with Dave let me get to know his wonderful father who was always kind and generous when ever I was around. I know he will be missed by all!
Ron was a classy guy and a great guy to work with.
I always enjoyed my time with Ron and Pat.
I will miss my dear friend!
Ron had a great sense of humor and I enjoyed working with him. He will be missed.
Ron was a terrific Salesman, great Friend, never a critic, always looked for the positive and the opportunity to succeed! He was dedicated to his family, his career, very successful and very generous of his time and attention. I wish your family much love and am sad to hear of his passing, I miss him!
We will miss Ron at Clow International Airport and on Saturday mornings at Charlie’s Restaurant. RIP Ron. Fly that helicopter into the infinite sky.
Ron all the way to the end loved Avation. He took helicopter lessons with me all the way until the end of March this year. I did not know him as long as many of you. But everytime he came in he was always smiling and wanted to get to his solo. He will be missed.
He was a great guy.
My deepest sympathies to the Bradley family on the loss of Ron. He was a fascinating guy and a warm man who I always enjoyed being around. I have fond memories of the times his job brought him to Champaign while I was roommates with his son Jim at University of Illinois. Ron was always generous and would take Jim and I out to dinner at a nice restaurant — a real treat for a poor college student. We shared a deep love for aviation and light aircraft. I’m glad I was able to get him up in the air in my Cessna 172 last year. We spent an enjoyable afternoon flying to lunch at the Rochelle Municipal Airport while swapping flying stories and talking about airplanes. Ron flew us home and although it had been a while since he’d last flown, his stick and rudder skills kicked in and he made a nice approach and landing back at Clow Airport. Blue skies and tailwinds Mr. Bradley, you will be missed!
