The May family cannot say enough about the community's generous outpouring of tributes, moving, and funny comments made in a number of internet posts. Thank you everyone for letting us know how Ron touched your life and what he meant to you. 

He truly made an impact with the community, friends, colleagues and the debates and bantering will be missed.

Parking is limited with the Mart out in front. If you want to drop someone off or need to park for a few minutes, valet in front may accommodate. Let them know you're going to the Wine Shop for a memorial service.

Parking is also available at the corner of Kinzie and Wells. www.spothero.com is a good place to get a parking spot as well.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As luck (if you can call it that) would have it, a Tech Cocktail event that same night at the Mart is happening, so let them carry on the old Ron legacy for all it's worth, after our service.  

Ron will leave this world remembered not as a misunderstood s*it disturber but an avuncular fellow that everyone remembers fondly. 

As Ron may have said:  "Happy trails and give me your card when I see you again."
