In loving memory of Ron Friedman.
Ron was more than a volunteer here. He was our trusted advisor, problem solver, and friend. His expertise in IT was invaluable, but as we often told him, Ron had the "It" factor. A rare mix of generosity, wisdom, humor, ingenuity, and an unwavering willingness to help.
As a member of D4D's Advisory Board, Ron gave his time and expertise wherever it was needed, solving a technical challenge, offering thoughtful guidance, or quietly filling a gap behind the scenes. If you knew Ron, you probably remember his love of a good metaphor, a clever acronym, or the perfectly timed emoji to make a point or brighten your day. Those little touches were just Ron being Ron.
He wore his D4D bracelet every single day, and showed us all what it meant to compassionately serve our community.
In lieu of flowers (and in true Ron fashion), his family is requesting contributions be made to D4D in his memory.
We'll continue to honor Ron at D4D by showing the same kindness, generosity, and service that he embodied every day.
