Tribute to David Ronk
Read the words then watch the video to see David’s board and it's new friend.
At the fallen officers site, found Dave Ronk and this was the last comment left for him:
Dear Dave,
I never knew you, but I am a huge fan of yours. Many know you as a heroic police officer, and some know the mighty skilled for your craft of making surfboards. I recently found a board you made back in the early 70's hidden away under a house here on the North Shore. When I pulled it out, and dusted it off, I knew it was a magic board instantly.
I went on to fall in love with the board, and named it "Peanut Butter". I recently made a short film about the board, because I love it so, and Dave your name, your eternal spirit, is in the film...
To all those that love Dave Ronk, I hope this short clip puts a smile on your face, as the memory of this hero always does.
"Peanut Butter" :
So grateful for you. Ride with us in heaven.
