>Hi everyone, This message comes a bit late but nevertheless is sent 
>with as timely promptness as the situation allowed. Ron Hartman 
>passed away on September 4th, 2008 from complications of lung 
>cancer. He was diagnosed in November of 2006 and valiantly fought 
>the disease for almost 2 years. Ron was 62 years old. He was born in 
>Hastings, Nebraska.
>             Many of you knew Ron as Sue Dooley's husband and may 
> have met both of them in the vendor area of numerous Corsa 
> conventions. Ron and Sue were retired from the Air Force and 
> traveled all over the US in their RV which was home. They both 
> worked for a gas line survey company and just like in military life 
> were transferred regularly by their employer.
>             From Ron's infectious giggles to Sue's "quiet" voice 
> they were a couple that were hard to miss. Many of you will 
> recollect them when I remind you of Sue's pride and joy, her late 
> model Monza convertible painted bright yellow and upholstered with 
> accents of purple and appropriately named "Tweety". Others may 
> remember their constant four legged companions, the Boston Terriers 
> which of course are named Frank and Beans. Ron and Sue were active 
> members of Corvair Atlanta and gave freely of their time and 
> efforts whenever asked. Ron enjoyed FC's and flat towed his FC 
> greenbrier behind their RV. They both worked at and attended many 
> Corvair Atlanta Springfests as well as other clubs shows throughout 
> the country. Ron will be missed by all of us who knew him.  Sue is 
> "wintering" this year at:
>
>Susan Dooley
>c/o Emerald Coast RV Beach Resort
>1957 Allison Ave.
>Panama City Beach, FL 32407
>
>I am sure she would love to hear from some of her Corvair friends 
>and you can email her at 
><mailto:suenrons at aol.com>suenrons at aol.com  Thanks for taking the 
>time to read this and care about another loss in our Corvair 
>community. WFCC made a contribution to CPF in Ron's name. Maybe some 
>of you may wish to do the same.
