Wow….

Ron and I'm worked together 40 years ago. Lost touch around 2000/2001. Always regretted not staying in touch. But I retired recently and was anxious to reach out to him and tell him how important he was in helping me build my company. I even dropped him an email just minutes ago. And it struck me that as Ron was considerably older than me, I may not get a response.

So I searched the internet and came across this….

How much I regret letting so much time go by before reaching out!

I had wanted to thank him for being such a kind man, a gentleman and an all around wonderful guy. Very humble, yet very devoted to his work and his church.

Men like him don’t come around very often - especially during these troubled times.

To his family - you were extremely fortunate to have him for so long. To his friends - I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.

Rest well my friend. You were one of a kind.

With regrets and great thanks…

To the family and friends of Ron Caldwell, Greetings!
Ron and I probably have not seen or spoken to each other since I left Trinity Church in the early 90’s. Yet, when I received the news of his passing, I immediately remembered him and the warm friendship we enjoyed, especially as we labored together on behalf of our beloved congregation. Uppermost in my own memory of Ron, was the heart he had for those suffering in body, mind and spirit, and his willing action to serve those in need; following te example of Jesus. I pray that each of you will be sustained by his memory and by the firm trust that he had, and no doubt, will have forever, in our loving and faithful God.
Peace, Lloyd Casson

I met Ron when I joined the Episcopal Church volunteer for mission program. His work, friendship and support has left a deep impression on me. So much that although it's been nearly 30 years since I've seen him I won't forget his impact. His great personality and his warm generosity touched me as I'm sure it touched all who knew him. May he continue to bring that positive spirit on to the next phase of his life.

Tall Dark and Handsome describes. Ronald. He was always pleasant and welcoming - knowledgeable and generous in sharing. My sister Christina (Bobby) loved and was loved by him and his family. God loved him best.

At the Episcopal Church's National Headquarters Ron and a team created the Racial Minority Exposure Program (RMEP). Based on the Program, Ron wrote a Lenten Meditation for Trinity Church, NY, for March 15, 1996 ... following are his excerpts:

"'I Came, I Saw, I Learned.' These are the words of Terry Star, a Native American and member of the Lakota Sioux Nation. I met Terry this past summer in my capacity as one of the leaders of the RMEP while helping him prepare for mission service in a fishing village in Alaska. Terry has made a lasting impression on me by his straight forward and simplistic understanding of faith. Terry says God is always with us and lives his life accordingly. When I kneel to offer prayers of Thanksgiving, I am never short of things to be thankful for. Yes to Terry and all the other summer missionaries: 'I came, I saw, I learned" ...and I thank God for causing our paths to cross."

I give thanks for Ron's journey as he reflected on the words "I came, I saw, I learned" ...and how these words were exhibited by Ron.

Ron left his touch ... and his memory will last.

in honor of Ronald.

I wish to express my sincere condolences to all in the Caldwell Family.

Ron, as we all called him in “his”
camera club, he would never have thought of the club as his
even though he was a Founder of but, as a place to share, learn, and enjoy the Art of Photography.

Always even keeled, cool
and with a stride…that was Ron.

Many camera clubs are not that democratic or include the whole
in its operation.
Ron made the club friendly:
always had or would find answers to questions you asked.
A teacher he was, willing to share whatever he could to push another forward.

He made a club of all faiths and colors🖤🤎🤍💜 and took it to other clubs less diverse and made it competitive
Damn right he did that!

I will remember Ron and all in the club that I had the pleasure and honor to rub elbows, laugh and make Art with.

Thank you Ron for the experience. The “R” in cameRa,
in shutteR when held and
pressed will be a reminder of
you.
Rest In Peace my friend,
Bob Uss
