OUR COLLECTORS REMEMBERING RONADRÓ

I am so sorry for your loss. And my loss too. It was always such a pleasure to see you both at the various conventions over the years. Since I just recently spoke with you and purchased “Surgery’s End III” (Stainless Steel), I had just recently told my staff the story of how at the ADA in Miami, Florida in 1986, at my first dental convention that I met you and Ronadro. I was quite early to the exhibits, and your booth was the very first one I visited that morning! To my surprise, I, who am not a big art collector, was totally impressed and enamored with the work of young Ronadró. So much so, even though I was just starting my career, I immediately purchased “First Visit,” the little blonde girl hugging her cabbage patch doll while her dentist was beginning his exam. And thus it came to pass that I became the very first Ronadro’patron!

Over the years, my Ronadró collection grew, as did our visits at each trade show! Always chatting, catching up, getting a photo, then hurrying on our separate ways! Always a very special place in my heart for the “Art and the Artist” (and his bride)

My last piece, just recently arrived in February, 2012 culminating my collection, along with Ronadró’s amazing career. I have even bought pieces for other professionals as gifts. Truly, his rare talent in so many three-dimensional mediums will be missed. Truly an inspiration. Thank you and Ronadró for being such an important part of my professional life. I will continue to admire and smile throughout the rest of my career (30 years in June) as his many pieces adorn both of my offices.

My son, Adam, will be the recipients of Ronadró’s work one day! I am sure he will appreciate the love and craftsmanship! His spirit and memories shall live forever here in Tampa, Florida!

Thank you and God bless,

Randy Feldman, DDS, MS, Tampa, FL

Ronadró will be deeply missed. I will continue to cherish all his beautiful art work. My prayers and thoughts will be with you in this difficult time. I hope to continue to see you at the meetings. I am a true Ronadró lover … the art and the artist.

Deep under a pile of junk on my desk, I found the announcement of Ronadro’s passing. I just wanted you to know that I will truly miss spending a few minutes at the conventions talking to him, feeling his passion for his art and his warmth as a great human being. I always checked the bulletin at every meeting to see if he was there and to make sure I stopped by, sometimes more than once. His porcelains are my treasure. Since my office was flooded out in hurricane Irene in August of last year and never restored, I have displayed some of my special pieces at home so my friends could share them. I will always treasure these pieces and his memory. I hope you are well and hope to see you at a future dental meeting.

I was so saddened by the news of Ronadró’s passing. My heart slowed down as I read the letter. I have enjoyed my sculptures every day and they have inspired me to practice my craft with the highest levels of excellence. So few of us get to inspire so many, Ronadró had that creative ability. I will miss him. He was an incredibly gifted artist and I feel very lucky to have spent time with you both over the years.

We always enjoyed seeing you both at the dental shows and I think of him often as I walk around our home and admire the many art pieces that we own. It was always a pleasure talking to you on the phone. We hope the wonderful memories you have of your life together will help you in the coming days. Hopefully we will see you at one of the dental meetings in the future.
