RIP Ron Tonkin

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

He built quite the empire.

I'll always remember him for jumping off the Blazers bandwagon with his public dissing of the "Jailblazers".
 
I'm surprised there isn't more local news coverage on this. KATU & KGW apps have nothing & didn't find anything when I googled his name.
 
Didn't his son Alan die in a paragliding accident in Mexico?
 
Willamette is a magical river, the only one in the western hemisphere that flows south to north.

What about Hood River? And numerous others....

A few years ago I got to check out his car collection and Ron told us about almost every car. It was amazing.

Magical like all tributaries of the south side of the Colombia, Snake, and Colorado. The magic is they flow up and you can see on any map.

But I did buy my first new car from Ron Tonkin.
 
I like how the tweet says Ron Tonkin, of ROn Tonkin Dealerships. OHHHHH. THAAAT Ron Tonkin. I thought you meant someone else.
 
Keep honkin' for Marv Tonkin, where you're #1!
 
Used to deal with him when I managed a detail shop after HS. Used to detail his cars from the Gran Turismo store. Business man thru and thru. Mad respect for him.
