I always enjoyed visiting with Ron and Mary. Ron was so kind, thoughtful, and brilliant. And he took care of Sir Big Spur ( alongside Mary) to bring joy to so many Gamecocks.
A selfless man— RIP.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Ronald Joseph Albertelli. Alongside his wife, Mary F. Snelling, Ronald developed the live mascot program for the University of South Carolina back in 1999.
His engineering mind, intelligence, creativity, kindness, and showmanship allowed Sir Big Spur to become a fixture at USC sporting events.
Ron was a great Gamecock, and he will be greatly missed.
