… Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron. Hey bonehead, it’s almost ten. I’m debating whether I’m just going to head over to your house or not. I want to get movin’ here. I’ll probably give it about ten … fifteen minutes. Call me. Later.
… Hey Ron, what’s up? It’s Eric. It’s twenty after ten. Wake up, Ron, you bum. What are you doing? Ahh man. I’m just going to finish watching this show then I’ll probably head over. Call me. Later.
… Ron where are you at, boy? It is eleven. Oh man. Call me. Page me as soon as you get up. Think I’m gonna start headin’ over there in a little bit. All right? Later.

… Hey Ron, this is Stuart. It’s about ten-forty-five, I just was curious if you wanted to come to work today? So, talk to you later. Bye.
… Hi Ron, it’s Patty. I know you’re at work so I’ll just leave a message, and it’s twelve and I know it’s probably really busy … but don’t forget to come visit … that would be great. Thanks, bye.
… Hi Ron, this is Shawna. I’m just calling from the bank. Just give me a call here if you get a chance, it’s no big rush. Just wanted to talk with you, or you can stop by. So, um, hope everything is okay and going well, just give me a call when you get a chance. Bye.
… Ron, it’s Patty. I just talked to Jeff, um, I-I-I-I-I-I, um, need to talk to you and I’m not sure if what I’m hearing is right. So, um, Andrea is coming home tomorrow, um, I don’t know if they’re playing a joke ’cause you have the car and the keys and everything. But, call me, I’m gonna try paging you.
… Ron, this is Jeffrey. If you’re dead, man, you’ll hear from me up above. I love you, man. I just heard on the news right now. My fingers are crossed and I’m hopin’ it’s not you. Rumor went around town like fast, wildfire. Tryin’ to get ahold of your parents. Love you, man, take care.
… Hey Ron, this is Todd callin’, how you doin’? Hope you’re doin’ well because I was watchin’ the news and they said they found, found somebody dead named Ron Goldman over in Brentwood on Bundy and I’m just like, fuck, I hope that’s not you. So I hope it’s not you. And if you feel like calling me back; let me know you’re okay. I hope you’re still alive and doin’ well, man. Later.
… Hey Ronnie, this is Dave, um, I don’t know if you’re ever gonna get this or not, oh man. Please call me, let me know what’s goin’ on, if the name is a coincidence or if it’s not, obviously.
… Ron, it’s Trish. I was just calling you back and just wanted to see if you’re okay. Okay, bye.
… Ron, this is Todd calling again and, uh, I just talked to your boss and he’s confirming what we all hoped not to be true and, uh, I’m still praying that something is wrong with the information. But if it’s true I’m sure you’re hearing this and we all love you very much and we just hope that everything for the better or whatever and, uh, if anybody gets this message tonight which is, uh, what is tonight, uh, it’d be Monday night if you could call and let me know exactly what might be happening. Talk to you later. Bye.
… Hi Ron, this is Kelly, can you call me? We heard something on the news I just want to make sure it’s not you. Call me, bye. As soon as possible, anytime tonight, okay? Bye.
… Ron, this is Kymberly, it’s Monday night, I haven’t talked to you in a while. Heather Burk just called me and said something happened to you. If something didn’t happen to you, call me back … I need to talk to you. Bye.
… Hey Ron, just wanted to hear your voice one more time and, uh, hope everything works out for you. Goodbye, Ron.
