I met Ronnie about 40 years ago at a dance party at Penny Pfannensteins house. I was 10 and he was one of the older teenagers who danced with a dorky little chick. We were fast friends since then. He was a doll and I will miss him. God bless you,Ron. Love you always. Your friend, Vicki

I will miss the smile Ron always had on his face.Very sadly his smile and his carefree spirit was taken from him. He continued on to see his family and his dog that meant so much to him. He kept life simple, but he was full of love. It didn't take much to make him happy. I am honored to have been his friend. Julie Leandro

I have known Ron since junior high. We have played together, worked together, lived together, and had lots of fun together.Friend and brother until the end. There is just not enough words to explain. Ron will always have a special place in my heart. Now you can rest in peace. Steve Leandro

You were my big brother, my protector and tormenter. I loved you so much and will miss you terribly. I know that you are now free from the terrible pain and in a better place. Yesterday my baby grandson, Adam, passed away, so please watch over him until we see you both again. Love you, your little sis, Barb

Its hard to believe that I'll never see Ron anymore (at least in this realm anyway). He has been a part of my life and family since I was born and will always be.. the memories are strong and make me smile and I am grateful for them. Rest in peace, Ron, and I hope you give the same enterainment and friendship to the afterlife, as I'm sure they are bound to enjoy you :)

Brother Ron,
Oh the stories we could tell. Your life was like a movie. Part comedy, part you've got to be kidding me. So far over the top.
Move over Stacka Lee, Ron I'll take it from here.
RIP Big Brotha,

Brother Ron,
Oh the stories I could tell. Your life was just like a movie, part comedy, part you got to be kidding me. So far over the top.
And thru it all, you were even bigger in real life.
Move over Stagger Lee, Ron will take it from here.
Peace Big Brotha,

It’s so hard for me to except that you’re gone…I am truly heart broke and I will miss you terribly. We had so much history, both good and not so good times, but through it all…I always loved you.

We share a special bond; our amazing son, Jake. You don’t always realize how much someone means to you, until that someone is gone forever. You played such a big part in my life. I’m thankful that I was able to help care for you and be with you when you were sick.

Rest in Peace Ron.

We will miss Ron so much. He is free from pain now, and in a better place. He was a good person and much loved.

His sister, Suzi
