Mr. Schwartz was a colleague of my father's and friend of the family. Along with my mother he was quite prominent in the '60s Stamford GOP where he was an intelligent and effective political leader. Also, a notable alumnus of Belltown School. Godspeed, Ron.

Ron was both my parent's Atty. and their friend. He facilitated the adoption of my sister and I when our stepfather adopted us. I remember Ron going out to lunch with our family when the court proceeding was done. I also remember him and Dallas visiting my Mom when she was dying of lung cancer. He was a good man and I am sure will be greatly missed by his family. RIP Ron Schwartz.
