Hopefully, it is just a month or two off period (vacation or seeing family etc) and not actual retirement or, in the worst case I can think of an unfortunate accident has sidelined him.
Let's hope he resurfaces soon I do miss him on the handicapping shows and I don't mean any disrespect to Brian Nadeau or Samantha Perry but Ron was an icon down there and most days me handicapping GP he burned me good with picking winners
Hoping for the best
