Ric - here were a couple pictures of you two that I had saved.  One was at the Sistersville Show in 2008 and the other at the Texas Show in 2009 where you two were helping me  ID about 500 WV swirls.

I met Ron at the 2008 show, plus a lot of others I wish I had spent more time with. Sold him an apparently rare box of Vitro No. 0 game marbles. He paid much more than I thought they were worth. He didn’t have the cash, told him to send me a check, a week later it was in my mail. That is top-tier integrity!

Wow..  it's been a few weeks since I last checked in here and as I'm going thru the ID threads i was wondering why I hadn't seen any posts from him.. then I see "RIP Ron Shepherd" in a reply and it hit me, pretty hard. He will certainly be missed. I loved reading his lengthy, sometimes sharp but always informative posts. They were usually the highlights of whatever ID thread I happened to be reading. RIP Ron. 😢

I have only been collecting for two years. I constantly watch Bahrs videos to learn about marbles. That's where I learned about Ron. I really wanted to meet him one day. I cried like he was my uncle or my neighbor. 🥲
