    To the family of Ron Balash, please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Ron. I was a young pup working at Bell at 416 7th Ave and Ron got me a season ticket for the Steelers in 1969. We moved to Three Rivers in 1970 and I got three season tickets and we were in a group of 13 in Section 271. Spent all those years with Ron and "the gang" until they moved to Heinz Field. He was a super friend of mine and we shared many good memories at the games and at Bell. He was a good man.
