I just found out about this and the news brings back a flood of memories about Ronnie. He was the go to person that I used for my jeep and also for other vehicles. His knowledge and expertise were a great help to me. I first met him when he had Inland 4 Wheel Drive, and continued to be his customer when he went to 4 West. I remember nights in his garage when he lived in Colton and he worked on one of my rigs. It was a great pleasure to know him, even though we had not seen each other for many years. I will never forget him. He was a great friend.

I use to baby sit Thier kids when they were very little and I was 15-16 years old. him and Loni were my neighbors around the block for many many years. I also remember one Halloween him and Joe Beshami came to my house with GORILLA masks on to scare my dad.. the three of them laughed a long time and still. Laughs to this day.
I'm very sorry my mom died in her sleep as well 3 Months ago. He will be missed

I was deeply saddened to hear of Ronnie's untimely passing and extend my sympathy to you, Joyce, and Ronnie's children. I will never forget the good times we shared together with you and Ronnie when Danny and I lived in California. Wish I lived closer so I could attend the services, but I will be there in spirit. Hugs to all of you.
