we just need someone stateside to take all the money via paypal and buy him a small token, something, anything, could be a model of his car or a bottle of whiskey or cigar whatever just a gesture to let him know he was appreciated and still is :-) Sometimes shit like that makes a huge difference to your moral...

Definitely. If somebody would take the time who might know Randy a bit better personally to set this up, I would donate.

Does anyone know him personally, and could recommend something that he can still enjoy?
Seems like we should be able to find something nice in here http://www.shopbmwusa.com/BMW-LIFESTYLE |

I think Ron spent a lot of his time online on Roadfly and possibly BFC.
I could reach out to a couple of the senior members on BFC.

Your best contact is Dr. Burr; any of you that went to HC 2001 through 2008 would've undoubtedly seen Dale in close proximity to Ron.
Dale's E-mail: a1dale *AT* hotmail*DOT*com (no asterisks and @ and . obviously) The gift items that were mentioned, well, think about it; they're not going to be giving him cigars and whiskey at a nursing home. And frankly, though it sounds like a good idea to "us" a model of his car would only serve to remind him__if that's even possible__of what he can no longer do or have. That's if he even remembers what he used to do and mean to us as a collective whole. The last update I got was around January, and the good__lucid__days were fewer than the bad ones then. Dale and his wife go up and see him occasionally, so ask them for suggestions on things that he needs, or would appeal to him. Nice sentiment though, your hearts are in the right place! A couple of pics of Ron in better days... While it may look like two old guys taking a nap, it was Ron and I checking out the first reinforced trunkfloor/dual ear differential mount in the US (a similar approach had already been tried in a drag-racing Coupe in Australia); HC05 Dale and Ron at HC05

I contacted a long time member over at BFC and a friend of Ron Stygar.
His reply echoed Randy Forbes in that Ron is "gone" as far as remembering anything or anybody. Excerpt "the situation was described to me as the Ron we knew being gone" Maybe we should look at possibly donating towards keeping Ron's website going.

I'd really like to think that the national BMWCCA would be willing to help, but to the vast majority of members, our Zs (3s & 4s) are just some funny little cars, nothing to be taken seriously.
