Dear Robin and Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on Ron's passing.
Ron and I worked together for many years at Central New Jersey's Magic 98.3, WMGQ. For the better part of twelve years, between 1982 and 1994, we had adjoining radio shows. At the end of my time at Magic, we were the last two remaining from '82.
At the "changing of the guard", Ron and I had many discussions and comaraderie in an often stressful and fast paced world of broadcasting. He was always the voice of reason to my inclination to push the envelope.
In addition to his longtime afternoon show, I also remember Ron as a pioneer in a program he hosted called "Magic Music for A New Age". Mr. Filepp was an expert in the genre and meticulously planned the program with great insight to the artists and their instruments. Therapists prescribed his program to patients and he had a loyal and devoted following. Whenever I hear his theme song, "Conferring With The Moon" by Wil Akerman, I remember those days with fondness.
Ron will always be one of most legendary great guys I've had the privilage to know.
I can see his passion for cats, I have some too.
May you find comfort and peace in this difficult time.
Dave Stockton,Dallas,GA
