Ron "Short Stop" McQuaigue, who died in 1999, was arrested over 500 times for public intoxication. Despite all odds, he began his journey of recovery in 1991 and credited the Guest House for saving his life. He later served on the staff, exemplifying the spirit of Room In The Inn through his own remarkable life and compassion for the many people who passed through the Guest House while he worked there. Charlie Strobel shared at his memorial service that, "There would never have been a Guest House without Ron. His radical love for the poor, the weak, the sick, and the lost is his legacy to the rest of us."
