Ron Jon Surf Shop announced on Sunday the passing of Founder Ron Dimenna, a legend in the Florida, East Coast and worldwide surf community. In a press release, the company said:

“The entire Ron Jon family mourns this loss. On behalf of our Board of Directors, management team, and employees, we extend our deepest sympathy to Ron’s wife, Lynne DiMenna.”
