    Ramon was a good friend and colleague. From talking with him, you understood that he was proud of his Filipino heritage and an avid Buckeye. He was one of the few people I have known who I could place among the cognoscenti. As I have often told him, if I were on the quiz show, “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”, he would be on my telephone lifeline to call for help with a question. He knew more “worthless” information (aka trivia) than I did. I will miss his jovial banter at our lunches. Farewell, my friend.
