To Ronnie's family and many friends we would like to express our sympathy, this sorrow is for the ones left "DOWN HERE"...... But Ronnie like so many others he is " UP THERE"....When he showed up he couldn't believe his luck, his eyes light up aww struck warm smiles, cold drinks and a heated game of hi-lo jack! we saved you a spot they call out... he sits down smiles and deals the next hand. Big Dave to the right and the Big Dummy to the left. I believe they are all in a better place. As for the rest of us we hold the memories of those we love close to us until we meet again.....I hope they save us a chair at their table!!

To the family of Ronnie Wilson,
Please accept our deepest sympathy in this terrible time of sadness. Ronnie was my buddy and always brought smile to my face. I can never remember a time when Ronnie "RJ" as I often called him, was around that did not result in many laughs and great times. I am so glad that we were able to share one last good time with Ronnie this past Saturday. Conversations revolved around a trip to visit him in Costa Rica in January. Ronnie- you will be truely missed.
"You are my buddy, a real friend, we will always be pals from now until the end."

Ronnie: Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming, WOW what a ride!

You did it your way and you will be truly missed! You were always good to us and we'll always remember the times we had at the Pinewood and our "weekend at bernies" ride down to Sticks! God Bless you.

For loved ones left behind, your father and grandfather always spoke so highly of you and loved you dearly! We will truly miss him.
