>> It is with a great personal sense of loss and sadness that I inform the pattern community that Ronald E. Van Putte passed away today.    Ron had had bypass surgery and seemingly was recovering from that with no issues.     But sadly after we returned from the Southeast Model Show, Ron had to be admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and other heart related issues from which he never recovered.

Fierce pattern competitor, Contest Director, Nats Event director multiple times,  World Championship judge, World Championship co-event director.    He was the anchor of the Eglin Aero Modelers for as long as the club has existed and also ran a hobby shop for many, many years.
