Whether it was enjoying eating ice cream or sightseeing, he cherished every moment with her. He never missed a moment telling her how proud he was of her.
His humor and ability to make others laugh were a light to all who knew him.
His legacy of love, laughter, and dedication to his family will forever be cherished by those who loved him dearly. There will be a private memorial to celebrate his life.

I worked with Ronald aka "overload" at ORNL. This man would light up a room with his humor. He was always a joy to be around. So sad to see him gone. Will definitely miss the late night phone calls at the plant.

With tears in my eyes and as hard as it is to even write this, I know it has to be done. I’ve tried to avoid the reality of what was actually going on, but here we are, and you’ve gained your wings. A lot of my childhood memories involve you and them and I will always cherish them. You are the reason why I love fishing to this day, along with Bunnie of course.. I love you & you will be missed. This is not goodbye, but see you later.
