I met Ronald Gans about 3months ago.I was an EMT that transported him to doctor visits and such.He was an amazing man who used to put me into tears laughing so much.His wife Theresa is a great woman and I feel for her loss.Gans had the humor that a lot of people probably didn't get or enjoy.At my ambulance company we were always happy to get the call to go pick him up.When I heard that he had passed I was actually saddened to hear it.I've had patients die before and never really cared but Gans was different.With Gans I was able to relate with tell jokes with and have a good time.He will be truly missed that is for sure.Gans take care and try not to get yourself into too much trouble up there.
