Condolence: "Tradron" later to be known as "Papa Ron" was a great friend and supporter of my dream. He called me his adopted son and has talked me through some difficult times over the last couple of years. He was a very intelligent and caring man, I am forever grateful and feel blessed for having known him. He overtime has helped to solidify in me why it is so important to slow down look around, enjoy, be thankful for, and to love those around you. Thank you Papa Ron.

Condolence: Ronnie was a longtime good friend having attended La Grange, McNeese & LSU Med together, and being roommates at Med school. We were Kappa Sig AEKDB brothers & proudly wore our pins & dangles to Med school.

He was one of the brightest people I ever knew & his love for & skill with the microscope progressed into a career as a Pathologist. In fact, we went to Houston together to take the MCAT & buy binocular AO microscopes whichwe used in college & Med school.

Ronnie was a trend setting dresser with Wejun wingtip shoes, Gant shirts & slacks. He set the style that we followed, trying to dress like him.

We kept in touch intermittently after Med school & shared old stories & new life updates. He enjoyed the outdoors & even made his own hunting bow, arrows & hand fashioned flint arrowheads - taking his rig on safari to Africa.

Ron Sanders, MD, was an exceptional man & those who knew him were blessed by his presence. The world is a better place because of him.
