Mr.Reese was the best 6th grade reading/social studies teacher that I've ever had. And I'm not saying that just because I got good grades in his class. He was always there for us. Not just for school, but for anything. My friends and I had so many good memories from being in his class. He was the coolest "old" teacher that we ever had. Mr.Reese will always be one of my favorite teachers from Lincoln School For The Arts. He will truly be missed!

Nana: As hard as this is for me, I can't imagine how this effects you. I am just proud to have been a friend of Ronnie's. He's supplied me with a lot of good childhood memories. God bless you and Bro. Howse. God bless you, Mrs. Reese, and the rest of the family. I'm sorry I never got to know you.

I am deeply sadden by the death of Ronnie. I offer my sincere condolences to all the family and friends of Ronnie. May God provide special comfort and blessings to everyone he touched but especially to his wife, mother, step-father, children and Uncle Pete during these moments of loss. Ronnie and I spent a lot of time together when we were young and growing up in the Eastend. He had wonderful spirit and a great sense of humor during those years that I will always treasured and never forget. We called him "Reese-Cup" and "RonnieRoach" back then. He was a great and loving cousin and I will never forget him or the great times we had during our pre-teen and teenage years. So many memories..... May God continue to bless his journey. I will miss him.
