I was saddened beyond words to learn that the inimitable Ron Fonte, my first boss, had passed away right before the holidays.
Here’s but one of what I believe will be many tributes to that amazing man.
Ron lived life LARGE and was unstintingly generous with his brilliance and warmth.
Another dear friend — the late poet / philosopher / Catholic priest John O’Donohue — is fond of referencing a fellow, who said of life, on his deathbead, “I gave it a good squeeze, didn’t I?”
Ron DID ! He lived life FULL !!
I will be forever grateful for his inspiring examples and for the unfurling education and celebration of the senses I experienced when we worked together on Friends of WINE magazine and Les Amis du Vin.
I raise a good glass in his honor…and in ours !
Warmly and looking forward,
