Ronald Causey Obituary

He was a good man and a good sailor, and I remember long talk with him at sea and a few long nights playing poker. My condolences to his family, i am sure he will be missed by them all.

Chief Causey, I arrived in Stimson as Communications Officer as my first submarine assignment out of Sub School, and you were my leading chief. You allowed me to screw up just often enough to learn some valuable lessons, but then you always bailed me out. You were a classic. Under you, Chief, every new radioman had to learn Morse Code even after that requirement was removed from the qual cards. Your men all revered you, as did I, but I never told you that because I was the new Lieutenant. Well, I'm telling you now. I wish you following seas.

So much of who I am is because of you. Everytime I tell stories about you, the response is almost always "so that's where you get it from." I have always looked up to you and admire you. I will miss our conversations about the Navy, golf, football and politics. I miss you and love you dad.

My dad was a unique individual, a sarcastic wit that will never be matched. I will never forget the fun times, the awesome talks about football( he hated my team, the Dallas Cowboys), politics (he hated left wing liberals more than the Cowboys). He taught me a lot about life, pushed me to be a hard working "productive member of society". I love you Pops and it makes me sad that I will never be able to call you up just to shoot the bull with you. You will be sorely missed and the world is now a lesser place without you.

I will miss you dearly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my mother, your wife, so happy. Love you.

I've always been proud to call you my father but you will always be my daddy. I've always been proud that you served our great country with the U.S. Navy in the Silent Service aboard submarines. You were unique and the world will never know another like you. You are with Sabina now daddy. The two of you are sailing the fair winds and following seas together. Rest In Peace Daddy...I love you and miss you.
Your Saucey

There is no expiration date on the back of our dolphins and Ron will always be remembered as a Brother of the Phin, a Stimson shipmate and a great Patriot.

Goodbye to a shipmate and a friend.

You served on the same boat my father was on from 67-68. Im sure you knew him. Rest in peace Sir.

I remember Ron...a nice guy...his office (the radio shack) was across the hall from mine (the sonar shack) on Darter. We were always good friends. Hate to hear this news.

My condolences to the family. I served with Ron on the USS Darter SS-576 for the 5 years he was aboard. He was a good friend and a great shipmate. I will miss him a lot. Fair winds and following seas Senior Chief.
