I was also fortunate to have worked with Ron at Flexi-van, CCM & then in the industry when he worked with ACS & FVLI. Ron made an impact on my career as my first supervisor, where I learned about chassis and the industry. He was instrumental in my career path, helping me progress to where I am today. Ron and I spent time away from work, hunting, fishing & being outdoors. I spent many hours deer hunting in Richmond Hill, Garfield GA., fishing and shrimping near Richmond Hill. Lastly, I was around Ron, his family and other friends. One thing was certain, he loved and was loyal to his family and friends and would do anything for the people he loved and cared for. May he Rest In Peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all I was very saddened to hear about Ron’s passing. He always had a way of making me laugh or smile after a tough day at the depot and helped me keep everything in perspective. He was one of the good guys

I had the pleasure of working with Ron at Flexivan. While we never met face to face, I had many a phone call and email exhange with Ron over the past 3 years. He was always helpful, always very professional and always cheerful. He will be missed and obviously made an impact nationwide. May The Good Lord bless and keep him. May God's grace be over his family and friends. Sincerest condolances to all.

My deepest condolences to the members of the Guyette family. This has been a tough pill to swallow. I have known Ron for the last 6 years. I have dealt with him over the last couple of years being over Flexi's account at our depot. It hurt my heart when he told me of his illness as I was and still am, dealing with, albeit different types, that illness myself. I remember when I took over the Flexi account what everyone told me about Ron. They all said he is hard to work with, complained all the time, and a few other choice words I will not be repeating here. Need I say 1that they were all wrong. It was an honor and pleasure to work with Ron. Loved every minute of it. Ron, you will be missed, never forgotten. Showing emotions is not something i do well with. I hope i did him proud. Love and miss you my friend.
