To the entire Danhoff family. So sorry to hear about Ron's passing. I worked under him at Donnelley's for several years back in the late 70 s early 80 s. One of the best bosses I ever had. Fast forward some 45 years or so. I and Ron talked about him helping video taping the clock tower cupola move to Cincinnati in November 2014. He spent about 2 hours outside on a cold day taping for me and the clock committee, something he did not have to do. But he was excited about the move and helping out. Once I realized who he was, we talked about working at Donnelley's and I got the chance to express my gratitude to him for being such a great boss. He was the best and will be missed. Prayers and Peace for you all in this tough time.
