I can still remember how we felt when we knew Ronnie and Donnie ''the twins''were on the way to The hunt club in Cumberland. Their presence alone brought smiles to many faces, their music would keep you humming for days after you heard them play. Ronnie taughed me the chords on the guitar and would always let me join in with he and donnie.As a kid, this meant the world to me.Thank you Ronnie and thank you Myra for sharing Ronnie with us for so many years!My childhood memories will always include you shaggy head!

Ronnie and his old dog Sam were the first we met when we moved to Bee Hollow 23 years ago and both of them were quite the characters. I know Gabe will miss talking with Ronnie and I will still wave and imagine him on the lawn mower as I drive by. God bless you Myra, Dorothy and Donnie, and all who will miss him. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
