My condolences to the Baker Family. I always enjoyed going into the Altec office and having a good BS session with Ron. So interesting, intelligent and down to earth. Many a subject was covered and we really did solve many of the worlds problems during those "meeting". I will always remember the time that I took the first Sony Digital Camera to the office to show him. Instant photo and stored on a 3 1/2 inch floppy disc, now how cool was that. One thing that will always stick in my mind was Ron's knack of taking a difficult engineering problem and finding a simple cost effective solution to the problem. I can only imagine the hundred of thousands of dollars his "simple solutions" saved companies over the year. His sparkling eyes and honest smile are set in my mind forever.

My condolences on your father and you husband. I was looking him up today to have a chat and was shocked to learn about his passing. I remember the saying you mentioned and it brought a smile to my face. We knew him during our African venture. Although it didn't turn out like we planned financially. It was a rich experience in the friendship of the two partners we still communicate with. I will pass this along as he was highly respected by them as well. He was definitely a very pleasant man with a great smile and laugh. It was pleasant to have met and known him even for a short time. Kind regards, Vince [email protected]
