Well I don't know where to start I asked about you today Mr Ron as I haven't seen you on the bus. I'm truly saddened to hear of your passing. I will miss all the good times I had hearing about all your sweet special grandbabies and your wonderful daughters. The great times with your friends playing chess. You will really be missed Mr Ron not only by myself but all of your bus drivers on Route 11. We love you. R.I.H Nicole Hamilton

To the family: Ronnie was like a brother to me and the rest of the Wall family (from Clifton Forge, VA). His mom (Virginia Thomas) and my mom (Lillian Wall) were like sister, his Aunt (Jonnie Ray) was my god mother and his brother (Frederick Thomas) was my best friend, who started to school in the first grade with me. It is with a heavy hearth that I say farewell to him. God bless and keep, you his family. Know that he will be missed by all that knew him. James (Jimmy) Wall and Family
