Ronald Real Obituary

I worked with Ron in the early 1980s on his newsletter covering minor league football. He had a great vision, and always thought of the players first. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Ron Real had a vision and went out to put that vision into realality. He will be missed. God Bless him.

Thanks Mr. Real for sharing your passion and vision with all us. May you rest in space.

I just recently heard of Ron's passing away. I met Ron when I got inducted into the Semi-Pro Hall of Fame in 2006. He has done great things for the AFA. My prayers go to his wife and family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family of Ron Real. He will be missed by all of us.

My deepest sympathy to the Real family, Ron was so much to so many, He will be missed by all.

My deepest sympathy to the Real Family. There was only one Ron Real. I met Ron 46 years ago and will miss him. Now he can see all the games from above.

May God bless the family of Ron Real and assist them through this difficult time. Please know that Ron will be missed by all of the individuals involved in semi-pro football.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family of Ron. I can honestly say that I probably would not be where I am without Ron Real. His influence on semi-pro football will never be forgotten. His legacy in minor league football is one that family and friends should be proud of.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to the Real family. Ron's tireless work on behalf of semi-pro football was truly a big factor in helping a lot of guys like me make it to the NFL, by providing venues and exposure for us to continue our careers. He was kind, generous, and a professional who's vision and talents will be missed by future fans and players alike. Rest in Peace, Ron...

We were so sorry to hear about Ron. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Cecilia (Cel) and his family. I have had the honor of knowing Ron through the AFA since 1996. Ron was a great man. He cared so much about people. He always made everyone feel like someone special. His memory will live on forever in life and in the American Football Association. Diana and myself will sadly miss him.

Sincerely,
George and Diana Ashcraft

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Aunt Ceal and Kids I was greatly saddened to hear of Uncle Ron's passing. We know he is at peace with our Almighty Father, his sisters whom he dearly loved and his Dad, Grampa Real. I am sure they are happy to have a family reunion with Uncle Ron. He was very special to our family and all of us 'Malone' kids. I am sorry I can not be there to share your grief and joy at all the wonderful memories he left with all of us. My love to all of you.

My deepest sympathy to the Ron Real family. My Dad, Ron Gallina, was a very close and personal friend of Ron's, and 2 years ago when my Dad was sick - Ron was there for me and my siblings. We were fortunate that my Dad pulled through and thanks to Ron for his encouragement throughout my Dad's ordeal. Whenever Dad was down - Ron was there to pick him up and make him laugh. I'll never forget the e-mail he sent Dad a few years back relating his experience in the over 60 baseball league he was playing in and how he emptied the counters at the store of all their Bengay!! Ron will be sorely missed by my Dad and my our family.
