I am forever grateful for the time Coco and I spent with Ron and Molly at Summergrove. We will miss Ron greatly, and we’ll find comfort in memories of his warm heart, amazing conversation, and beautiful photographs. Our prayers are with you, Molly, in this difficult time. Love always, Jamie and Coco
Ron was a Renaisssance man ! I am proud to have called him my friend and will always treasure the many incredible photographs that he captured of us on the polo field.
I met Mr.Ron and Ms. Molly when I was the volunteer coordinator at New Heights. Mr. Ron was such a joy , always camera in hand taking photographs. He just wanted to help where he could and he did. He will so deeply missed by so many. It is not often in life you meet someone so pure in heart and genuinely kind as Mr. Ron was. He was an absolute treasure. Our deepest condolences to Ms. Molly and his family.
Like many before me, I met Ron at a polo event, where he was introduced as the volunteer photographer and a beloved friend of the club. As I was new and figuring out where I fit in, he and Molly were always sure to invite me to eat with them or start up a conversation. These were small acts of kindness that made a huge impact on me and my perception of the polo community.
Often, while Ron was brilliantly analyzing the game and anticipating the perfect shot in an inimitable display of multitasked talent, Molly and I would chat.
Molly, I loved hearing about your international adventures together, both recent and as newlyweds, and about your excitement for upcoming visits from family. The impact this loving man had on you and your family were palpable in the way you spoke of your times together.
Individually you and Ron both epitomize the "humble adventurer", delighting in exploration for the sake of discovery. As partners, you broke the mold and built your own paradigm filled with curiosity, love, and authenticity. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to witness that example.
I wish I'd had more time to know Ron, but am so grateful to be counted among the lucky people he has influenced. Molly and family, you are in my heart; sending love to you all.
I met Ron for the first time only a year or two ago at the polo matches in Folsom. I was a brand new spectator to the sport, and more than anyone else there, Ron made me feel exceedingly welcome. He was always so gracious, so genuinely glad to see me during subsequent visits, and so eager to explain the intricacies of the sport so that I could better understand the game. I won't pretend like I knew him well, but I will absolutely miss his presence come the autumn. Rest In Peace, Ron, and God bless you. Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for making this awkward newcomer feel like he belonged.
Mrs. Jenkins & Ron & Family, I am very sorry for your loss! I enjoyed and I am also thankful for my time spent with him on Greening Island. My sympathies to your family.
One of the most interesting persons that I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
A great loss.
