Ron Spisso was not just a friend but also a mentor, teacher, and a parental figure to me. We were able to sit on different sides of issues, engage in deep conversations, and walk away feeling heard and validated. Many discussions started with phrases like “What do you think?” or “I need your opinion” or “Let me run something past you.”<\/span>\n

He used to mail me news articles on clients or businesses he thought should be clients for years. I have amassed a large collection of his business books and tons of documents and files containing his teaching materials. This past weekend, he called me twice, and unfortunately, I was out and couldn’t return the call until Monday morning, too late for my last mentoring session.<\/span>\n
\n
I will deeply miss Ron’s friendship. If there’s one thing I could take away from this friendship, it is the realization that we can sit on different sides of an issue, discuss, learn from each other, and walk away in total peace, understanding, and respect for each other. The world needs more of this\u2014listening and understanding without always agreeing or needing to be right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ron Spisso, SBDC Business Coach. He was my guiding light for 20 years. I could call him whenever I was stuck on a Cafe question and he would save me. He rescued me from many bookkeeping dark nights of the soul and sat with me in the early Cafe days while I shed tears of exhausted frustration. He was more than a business coach to those of us that he mentored, he was our dear trusted loyal friend and confidante and I loved him, we all loved him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ron helped found the Corvallis Saturday Farmers’ Market Association, which is now Corvallis-Albany Farmers’ Markets. He and I are the only two managers since 1991. He must have done a good mentoring job.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Ron and I spoke a few days ago as I prepared to leave for several months. Now he has passed a day before my departure, it intensifies the loss of a truly special human being. Ron exemplifies what it means to be human in all the good ways. This isn\u2019t just flowery words for the departed\u2026 this man REALLY was a good human being. Our earthly relationship has moved on, but our last phone conversation ended with \u201cI love you Dan\u201d and \u201cI love you Ron\u201d\u2026 and that is as good as it gets. Ron is what Love looks like. Heartfelt condolences and peace to all as we remember and remind ourselves of our blessings.<\/span><\/h5>\n
