A message from the GSDSEF Board of Directors:
It is with deep sadness we inform you of the very sudden and unexpected passing of Ronald Domb, our friend and a long time supporter and CFO of the GSDSEF. He succumbed to a massive infection on April 13, only hours after being taken to the hospital. In spite of the medical staff’s best efforts he could not be saved.

A memorial fund will be established and donations in Ronald’s memory will be used to help continue the work of the GSDSEF to which he so passionately donated his time, energy and expertise. Ronald worked with the fair for 40+ years and was our CFO for over 20 years. His engineering and computer skills kept us going as did his friendly and unflappable manner. Needless to say he will be greatly missed!
Memorial donations and cards can be sent to:

San Diego, CA, 92175
