I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Rolling. This world has lost a good man and I am sure God has plans for him. I worked with Rolling for many years at Dick Strauss Ford. Rolling was always ready to help me when I needed a hand . He was fun to be around and he could always make me laugh. I will always have good memories of him. My prayers are with you and your family .

To my family,

I am truly sorry that another one of us is gone. Ronald will truly be missed. Connie, Patsy, Todie, and Aunt Mary, I know that you will miss him, but just remember that you can talk with him every day, because he is with God. He had so many good qualities, and boy could he make you laugh. I will never forgot how he was leading Todie and I home through a snow storm, and we made it up the hill at state farm in Goochland, by the grace of God, only for me to slide in the ditch on 522. And instead of him fussing at me, he just laughed and said, I think you need to park the car and ride with me with that look on his face like this girl. And on that day we made home thanks to him. I just want to say thank you, for being such a good cousin and for looking out for all of us. And thanks for telling me the stories about how bad you and my mom (Joan) were when both of you were kids. Family, I love you, and know that Ronald is in a better place now even though he will be missed. Look to Jesus and he will comfort us all. With deep sadness, I want to say see you later cousin Ronald and I love you.

To My Family,

No words can express our deepest sympathy. For we know too well how this hurts. However, We are a UNIT put together by GOD and as long as we have each other to lean on along with the strength of Almighty God there is nothing we can't get through. I have so many memories of Ronald from the Drag strip..to my many truck repairs..to just sitting somewhere joking. I just know that he will be truly missed by so many. We love you and we are here!!

To My Family I just want to say that God wont put more on us than we can bear. This is a time that we all need to stick together. Mac and Ronald are smiling down on us. They are where we are trying to get, with our Heavenly Father. This is praying time, stay strong, keep the faith and God will see us thru. Ronald I love you cousin and I am so sorry that I didnt get to see you! My last memory of you was you and Joan arguing at the hospital about who started a fire when you all were kids. I remember that smile on your face and thats good enough for me until I see you again. Tell Nana, Papa, Uncle Richard and Mac I said Hey!!!
