Honoring Ron Myers with a Quilt of Valor
Join us for a special celebration as we honor beloved longtime islander Ron Myers with a Quilt of Valor.
A Quilt of Valor is a handmade quilt presented to a service member or veteran in recognition of their service and sacrifice. This beautiful quilt was created by Maggie Kaplin, and Brenda Bacon will offer a short presentation as we pay tribute to Ron.
Many know Ron as our cherished “piano man,” whose music has brought joy to countless gatherings. But beyond his musical talents, Ron proudly served in the U.S. Air Force for 31 years, flying large aircraft such as the B-52 and later serving as a flight instructor. He retired in 1986 with the rank of Colonel.
Ron and his wife Joe have shared 70 wonderful years of marriage and are the proud parents of three children, eight grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. The Myers have called Orcas Island home for 33 years, where they have become treasured members of our community.
Please join us in celebrating Ron’s remarkable service, love of music, and deep contributions to island life.
