I am sorry to hear of the passing of Ronnie. He was a very nice man. I live in San Francisco and everytime I would see him outside with his dogs he would wave or speak to me. He will be greatly missed. I hope his dogs are doing well without him as I know he is watching over them. God bless them both and my prayers are with the family during your time of sorrow.

Thank you all for your kind words, my Uncle was very special to us and will be sorely missed. It’s nice to see and hear that he touched the hearts of some many others the way he touched ours. I know my life was greatly impacted and improved by having had him in it. I feel blessed to have known him in this life and know that he’s now with our loved ones looking over us and will be there to receive us when our time comes.

Gale,
We were sorry to learn of Ronnie's passing. Arthur & I always enjoyed being with him. He was such an animal lover, wasn't he?
