Well, sorry to hear... (his wife posted his death on his 3rd to last image posted here in his gallery in April). Found it while browsing his gallery.  But in my opinion one of the best Bryce artists.  Ron died December 28th, 2009 of pulmonary fibrosis.  Loved his "Trains, Trout and Caramel apple" images.  RIP my friend, it was a pleasure to know you.
