It is never easy losing a family member. May God give them comfort and faith during this time of loss. freddyg12 05-13-2011, 09:15 AM RIP Ron Springs & all the best to the Springs family as they remember him. I grew up w/some of his cousins, he's from my hometown - Williamsburg, Va. Although Lawrence Taylor is also from Williamsburg, only Ron Springs has a road named after him. My high school coach coached him a decade + earlier & always spoke fondly of him. I remember that last Woody Hayes OSU game. Ron was on that team as I recall. It never bothered me that he was a cowboy, was just proud that he came from my hometown. When Shawn Springs came to the Skins it was kinda fitting, since Shawn was also born in Williamsburg I believe, then grew up in northern va. in Skins country.
