He used to visit Alexandra from the kidney board. I see he hasn't been on since last October.

    if I recall correctly, it was in the fall of 2014 and unexpected, not directly from the cancer.

    I remember reading his posts with interest.

    If you click on his name, you will find that someone has signed in as Ron as recent as today. A loved one, perhaps?

    I don't think so

    Ron has not been on line since he passed away in oct. 2014.
