Ron Hajak(1951-2011)
- Actor
Ron Hajek saved a young man's life. Not only was Ron a talented actor
and wholehearted friend, but he was a hero. Toward the end of his life,
living for a miraculous length of time (over 5 years) after being told
he would not live for three months because of John Ritter's Disease (he
passed of an infection and not because of his heart disease), he showed
compassion to a suffering young man who had stolen his car wheel. In
court, Ron decided to forgive the man and the two became close friends.
They lived in the same neighborhood and met regularly, talking for
hours at a time. David was able to turn his life around and go back to
school, going on to become an educated person devoted to making the
world a better place.
