The good times at FHS & our class reunions will always be cherished. Ron was a great friend, companion, and just a pleasure to be around. Our prayers go out to Becky and his family. Due to Bob's brain surgery this past week, we regret that we cannot come and pay our respects to this wonderful man and his family.

My sincere condolences to the Compton Family. I worked with Ron in the late 90's at Scott AFB and he was one of the kindest, nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Everyone LOVED Ron!!

I met Ron when he was a civilian at Air Mobility Command and was fortunate to be working with him when he retired. I still chuckle when I think of his retirement luncheon at Joe's Crab Shack and bar hopping on a school bus that night. Really enjoyed working with him. He was the master of gag gifts at work. I still have the one he gave me. He is missed already.

Our whole office was so sad to hear of Ron's passing. I will always remember him with a big smile on his face. He was a favorite of ours and we will miss him. I hope Becky and the rest of his family can take comfort in all the good memories he left behind.

I'm sorry Bob and I will not be able to attend Ron's funeral, but want to extend our sympathies to the family. When he was the "Quality" guru on the MAC/AMC staff, I enjoyed learning from and working with him. He was soft-spoken, very polite, and was a mentor to me regarding implementing the "Total Quality Management" program at the time, and in just working issues on the staff. He was a good man, and a good friend.

To Rons family and friends, our deepest sympathies. I worked with Ron on the AMC staff. He was a role model to all of us. His ability to balance mission focus, concern for people, humor, and energy were second to none. I picture Ron with a smile on his face, with a witty comment at the ready; but, with sage wisdom to heed. He made everyone feel important and appreciated. Ron has touched us all, made us all better people, and he will be deeply missed. God bless.

I'm very sorry of your loss. Ron was our Chief of Mantinence at Bergstrom AFB. He was a kind, gentle soul and served with great distinction. We will meet you at the gates, brother.

I was stunned & terribly saddened by the passing of Ron & even though he wanted us to call him Ron, as a former student, he will always be "Mr. Compton" to me. He was always a kind, wonderful man & seemed to always have a smile on his face. It was so obvious that he was happy to see his former students - and we were happy to see him each time we encountered him later in life. "Ron" embodied the best of all of that: he was a positive force in this world. He will be sadly missed and warmly remembered by all who knew him... what a great man and teacher. Karen and I send prayers and condolences to your entire family.
