Spoke to Ron many times on the phone. He always answered and was willing to spend as much time with you as needed. Always spoke to me like we were old friends. I called to see how he was getting along considering all the shenanigans he was going through. Uncharacteristically, he didn’t answer. God bless Ron Hatton. Smile for stranger, you’ll both be glad you did. Requiescat in Pacem.

Hi Tracy, I received your email and was shocked by what I read. I only spoke to Ron on the phone and he was very warm like we knew each other for a long time. Over the years he would send out emails if someone needed help which I always appreciated. A while back Ron shared the name Sarah Westall and said I should listen to her. Till this day I still listen to her and thank Ron for letting me know about her. He is and will be missed.

I am shocked by this news,and yet grateful to know where Ron has gone.

Precious in the eyes of GOD is the death of one of his saints. Ron and i have talked a number of times even when he was somewhat unsure of of what tomorrow held for him. Let us all rejoice in Ron's Homecoming. I as well as many many others will miss him and all he had to give. YES keep his legacy alive. He was a friend who has stepped into Eternity. We Love you Ron.

Yes, Kenneth, While Ron was here at my place last year, he spoke of death as a "graduation". Ron has indeed Graduated, with honors!!
thanks!

Hey bro its like a side swipe collision. I can absolutely agree that Ron always made you feel like apart of a brotherhood. ALWAYS generously able to explain his visions and our abilities to have our own. Keep on brother.

I was shocked when I first heard the news about Ron's passing. May he truly rest in peace. He gets to see my first born son Andre that was taken off life support after only being born 4 days earlier. But I digress.
I first met Ron finally in person in Provo, Utah. Next to AutoZone I think it was. With no hesitation he took apart the throttle body to my piece of crap throttle body on my 2008 Mazda Tribute. Throttle body from the Mazda Tribute was plastic. We talked for a short while and I really did appreciate every minute talking with him. I will miss his unique laugh. Always made me smile when I heard him laugh.
Him and I both put our noses to the exhaust of the Mazda and Ron was right. It felt and smelled like a dryer vent. Always enjoyed talking to Ron over the phone. He always took the time to answer my questions and he would be honest if he could not talk with me but still apologizing about it. Damn I will miss Ron. I still have his last voicemails saved on my phone. I need to save it on my computer and on the cloud.

I'm so glad his business still lives on and is in good hands now. 100% honestly want this business to thrive and never go away in my lifetime.
I truly miss you Ron. Wished me met again in person. He agreed with me that people are brainwashed and not open minded on improving engines in one way or another. Rest in peace Ron.
From your friend Juan.

Thank you, Juan! Yes, I miss Ron every day. I feel the urge to just call him to ask a question-then I remember that he Graduated.

We all miss you so very much, Ron. You touched and helped so many lives during your too-short stay down here.
I am Grateful for my friendship with you. You taught me So Much.

Rest in Peace, Ron. You are Still Teaching us.
thank you.

I miss Ron too. We used to talk on the phone all the time. I had wished I had crossed into the US to visit. He respected me and I respected him.
