From great love comes great loss. Ron Snyder was one of my best friends in college. Now we’re spending time with Bryan Ruerup, Ron’s husband, who carries Ron close to his heart wherever he goes. While I can’t imagine the unfathomable depth of spousal grief, I just hope to be a comfort. And learn, and learn and learn…
-
- Flashback from 2018: Bryan and Ron enjoyed one last trip to Las Vegas before Ron passed away suddenly from cancer.
-
- Flashback from 2018: My sweet buddies enjoying the High Roller.
-
- Bryan carries some of Ron’s ashes with him wherever he travels, in Ron’s bag.
-
- Bryan deep in thought as the High Roller starts its slow 45 minute ride.
-
- Mike and I are thrilled that the Stirling Club is finally open! We enjoyed an inaugural dinner with Bryan.
-
- Cheering up Bryan with a Barry Manilow concert.
-
- Bryan wore Ron’s sports coat to the show, but had to admit that Barry Manilow’s original Copacabana getup was an impressive sartorial choice.
-
- Some of the lyrics hit us hard, like “Can’t Smile Without You”.
-
- Manilow’s big Copacabana finish, complete with streamers. Not bad for 76 years old!
