Dearest brother, Ronnie Jr., So much time has passed and so much has happened to our family these so many many years. Remembering wonderful childhood memories of all of us and the very sad times, too. Remembering all the special holidays and birthdays, the holidays shared with uncles and aunts and later when nieces and nephews came along. Our mom and dad so generous with love and kindness. I miss and love you every day ... and comfort in knowing God is loving and caring for all our family forever and ever more .... Love always, your sister, Kat

I will always love and miss him, but I know he is in a better place now. Regardless of what was going on in his life, he was always willing to lend a hand. I will miss most just golfing and hanging out on a Wednesday morning with him. He was a great person to know and to talk to. Cheers to the good times with him. God Bless

The passing of this man brings sorrow to many who knew him, and to all who loved him. Although I did not know him for long, I had come to call him "brother" during his final days...both as a brother military man, and a brother in Christ. I for one will miss him, and only wish that I had a second chance to know him more. Farewell for now, brother Ronnie...see you later in Heaven.
