That is truly sad news as Ron was a big contributor to our mother distribution Mandriva.
Here's a link to the announcement on the Mandriva forum.

He was a very friendly and playful guy. He contributed a lot to MCNL (MandrivaClubNederland), too.
He'll be missed by many.

Returning from holidays, this was one of the first messages i read.
Ron was ill for some time, suffering ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).
The illness broke him down in a very short amount of time.
I will remember him from one Linux-meeting in the Hague, and the pleasant dinner afterwards (for he was adoring Indonesian food), and of course from the times in the Dutch Mandriva-forum, MCNL.
A great guy, lots of fun, and always there to help out.
Ron, you will be greatly missed.
Lots of strength for those you left behind.

In my age it becomes almost a daily duty to cope with final news about yet another one of those you once knew. Still it never leaves you untouched.
R.I.P.
