RIP Ron Gomez

[HelmutVII]

He was a great radio guy but an even better person.

I first met Ron Gomez in 1968 as a 17 year old freshman on the USL Bulldog basketball team. Some 33 years later I was asked and honored to serve on the 2001 Beryl Shipley Basketball Reunion Committee along with Ron, Coaches Beryl Shipley and Tom Cox, Robert Trahan, Eddie Mouton and Dr. Ed Dugas. Ron was MC for the opening night banquet and did not disappoint. There was no secret the mutual affection shared by him and Coach Shipley. Ron was a dynamic personality and was at his best behind a microphone. I’m sure he shared my extreme disappointment with the Lights Out In Blackham production video not being completed. We missed a huge opportunity. Lafayette, Southwest Louisiana and the University lost another great one. Thank you Ron Gomez RIP

He was the original "Voice of the Cajuns." And he got to cover the true glory years of Ragin' Cajuns basketball.
I had so much admiration and respect for that man.

This is a tough one.

Just spoke to Don Allen’s son. A tough one for Don as Well.
