I am shocked. Just spent time last year with Ron as he explained the roller
coaster ride his engine combo has been on.
He got to spend his last years "Livin' the Dream" as he called it.

Condolences to his family & all of his friends.

RIP!! :( I did not have the chance to get to know Ron as well as others, but always enjoyed seeing his unique combination on the track, and had the fortune of spending a little time with him in the Gusso pit area over the years. He will most certainly be missed!

Very sad to hear this news about Ron. I just spoke with him at Indy, he was always very nice. Even though I didn’t know him well he made me feel like I’ve know him for years. Prayers to Ron’s Family and Friends.

Re: R.I.P. Ron Roddel
 

Really sad news, Ron was a good guy !

Re: R.I.P. Ron Roddel
 

Was so shocked and saddened to hear this news today. I'm blessed to have gotten to know Ron over the last 10 years and count him as one of my friends. He was always such a pleasure to spend time with. He always treated my kids and I with respect and fun at the races. His passion and drive for our sport was contagious. I looked up to him and the way he carried himself in life, business, with his family.... He will be sorely missed...

Re: R.I.P. Ron Roddel
 

Rest in peace Racer Ron

Re: R.I.P. Ron Roddel
 

This is a tough one. I first met Ron after high school in the mid 60's and we became friends right away. What I liked about Ron, and I think defines who Ron was ,is the word "Integrity" . Family was at the top of his list , working with his parents and brother and sisters in the family business, and raising his famliy with Judy . We traveled alot of miles racing over the years and it is going to be tough going to the races knowing Ron won't be there. You will always be with us.

Re: R.I.P. Ron Roddel
 

RIP "Full Throttle Roddel" a Gentleman Racer, liked by so many!!! May Your lights be perfect & stripe tight in Heaven!!! It's going to be a tough weekend in Marion without you there!!!

Re: R.I.P. Ron Roddel
 

Knew since we were 19 ,many good times together . One of the most honest and easygoing guys I have ever known.This made me realize how precious life is..My prayers go out to Judy and the family.

Re: R.I.P. Ron Roddel
 

Losing Ron is a tough one. I am glad I got to know Ron and Thank you for our friendship through the years as just being around Ron made each and every one of us a better person. Our thoughts go out to Judy and Family

Re: R.I.P. Ron Roddel
 

My condolences to Ron’s family. Ron was a top shelf person in every way, first class. He will be missed. God speed Ron.

Re: R.I.P. Ron Roddel
 

The racetrack just won't be the same without Ron around anymore, that's for sure. He was always a great friend with so many life experiences to share and he really enjoyed spending time with everyone. His desire to always give back to the sport and help in anyway really set him apart from so many others. We are so thankful for the years we got to spend with Ron at the races and really wish his family the best through this terribly difficult time. We're really going to miss you buddy.
