Apparently Ron’s doctor didn’t know he died. That’s very sad.
Could be his dentist or foot doctor.
It is sad that Ron will apparently end up in potter's field.
Also to be fair, it's not like doctor's offices check message boards for deaths. Martin needed to be calling doctors. When my mom died *in my car* on the way to the doctor appointment, I still had the courtesy to call and explained what happened.

If Ron ends up being cremated, I hope his ashes end up at the site of the old Olympia Stadium:

I think it would be apropos if those ashes ended up in various motel parking lots from Allen Park/Downriver, Warren, Farmington Hills, etc.

Notwithstanding his continuing love affair with Jake Rogers, Ron would still have his issues with what Scott Harris is doing, how Lance Parrish continues to be ignored by this new regime. Ron would remind his “fans” not to get carried away with a sweep, even on the road, since the White Sox are a bad ball club. And cautioning us to remember that it’s a marathon, not a race … as long as that premise fit within his particular agenda in the moment.

Beyond the Airwaves: The Legacy of Ron Cameron

(A collaboration with ChatGPT)

In the wake of Ron Cameron's untimely departure from this world, the outpouring of admiration and respect for his remarkable life has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Born and raised amidst the humble streets of east Detroit, Ron Cameron's journey to becoming a titan in the realm of sports broadcasting is nothing short of awe-inspiring. With an unyielding passion for sports and an unwavering commitment to excellence, he carved out a path that left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of sports enthusiasts everywhere.

As a host of radio and television sports talk shows, Ron Cameron didn't just entertain; he captivated audiences with his unparalleled charisma and encyclopedic knowledge of the sporting world. His crowning achievement came early on, when he had the honor of interviewing none other than Jacqueline Kennedy herself, shedding light on the sporting passions of the revered John F. Kennedy. (https://mibuzzboard.com/phpBB3/viewtopi ... 70#p663813)

But Ron's brilliance didn't stop there. He dared to dream bigger and bolder, launching the revolutionary magazine Sports Fans' Journal—a beacon of unpretentiousness in a sea of pretension. Through its pages, he provided a platform for the voices of sports legends to be heard, inspiring generations of fans with their candid insights and unwavering love for the game.

Yet, Ron's impact extended far beyond the realm of print. With the creation of the iconic R Sizzle chain of sports-themed restaurants, he transformed the dining experience into a celebration of camaraderie and sportsmanship. These establishments didn't just serve food; they served as hubs of community and connection, bringing fans together from all walks of life.

And let us not forget Ron's foray into sports team ownership, where he led the Lafayette Bull Frogs and Long Beach Strikers to unparalleled success. His visionary leadership and unwavering dedication turned these franchises into symbols of excellence, beloved by fans far and wide.

But perhaps Ron's greatest legacy lies in his sports marketing partnership with Ron Colangelo, a visionary in his own right. Together, they revolutionized the landscape of sports and entertainment, seamlessly blending tradition with innovation to propel the Ilitch empire to new heights of success.

And who could forget Ron's instrumental role in convincing the Detroit Red Wings to retire the uniform number of Sergei Federov—an act of respect and reverence that will be remembered for generations to come.

In recognition of his extraordinary contributions, Ron was rightfully bestowed with membership in the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame, and the Michigan Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame—a testament to his unparalleled professionalism and unwavering commitment to excellence.

As Detroit Tigers radio broadcaster Dan Dickerson so eloquently put it, Ron Cameron was more than just a broadcaster; he was a beacon of integrity and professionalism, both on and off the air. And though he may no longer walk among us, his legacy will continue to inspire and uplift us for generations to come.

Ron Cameron, we salute you.

This was the "effusively complimentary" version of an outline that I fed into ChatGPT for this special day on the calendar. I also did a "satirical, sarcastic" version that made a lot of what we've written here seem pretty mild.

Going down a rabbit hole of watching episodes of “SportsView Today”, and just saw an episode in the queue w/Jim Price as a guest.
