Ronald Gonzalez, director of a youth program in New Jersey, was flying home to visit family in the Buffalo area. Gonzalez formerly led Alianza Latina, a health outreach organization focused on AIDS/HIV in Buffalo’s Latino community.
“He lived for his work and for the community,” said Dennis R. Pfaffenbach, a member of the organization’s board of directors who worked alongside Gonzalez before joining the board.
Gonzalez, 44, was director of the Youth Services Program based in the New Brunswick, N.J., schools, according to the Star Ledger’s Web site.
In a 2005 Buffalo News story about a National Latino AIDS Awareness Day event, Gonzalez described the efforts of Alianza Latina in Buffalo.
“What we are trying to do in the community is prevention work,” Gonzalez said that day.
