A Great Champion Has Passed Away
North Carolina chess players are saddened to hear of the loss of FM Ron Simpson, 53. Originally from New York, Ron was more than just a strong Master chess player... he was a special gentleman who freely shared his time with anyone who sought his knowledge and advice. He specifically requested that chess sets be available at his viewing! A model husband and father, our prayers are with his family. He will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace. LF
