Not sure what to say?

We first met Ronnie 25 years ago. Lillian introduced us at a Mother's day weekend at Glen Falls House. She told us beforehand that he had been very sick and some of his activities had slowed. Two hours later he was breakdancing. I thought to myself if this is the slow version of this guy, I'd love to see the fast one. Over the years, we saw many sides of Ronnie and loved all of them He was truly a great guy who had the ability to make everyone he met feel special and had an incredible...

Last night I thought I heard my mother's laughter. I figured Ronnie must have arrived in Heaven and there's a party going on. He was always known for making people laugh and for that beautiful Italian song,"Pizzania". (did he actually write that song?) I'll bet that's what he is singing to everyone in Heaven right now. He will always be remembered fondly with a smile and a chuckle.

Uncle Ronnie ,
I came into our "family" at five and never once did i question the immediate love and acceptance i felt. In this life nothing is more important than family ( and we truly are family ) and i have learned that from watching you raise your children. You were the father i wished i had ! You have three amazing children who love and admire you . If i close my eyes i can still hear you say "HELEN!".
Aunt Helen..... you are so loved....strong and so funny !!Just don't make any...

My Uncle Ronnie who I find out was not even my uncle after all was so much more then that. In a family of so many girls he was our father figure. His life with Aunt Helen showed us love what we could only hope for in our own marriages. Those times of singing on chairs with soda bottles & dancing with Elvis at the Glen Falls seem so long ago. But will never be far from my thoughts. I hope I can teach my children to love and enjoy life as you did for me. Thank you Uncle Ronnie!

Ronnie,
We didn't have the good fortune of growing up with you guys and the Keyes family and friends, but we so enjoyed hearing the wonderful stories you all told. We were honored to be privileged in sharing the memories and escapades which helped shape who you would become. It was a joy to be your friend, and you are missed. Rest in peace with the loved ones who have gone before, in the loving arms of our Lord.
Fondly,

R is for the Realm that he has entered
O is that it's on the "Other" side
N means that he Never has to suffer
N means that he'll always be Nearby
I is that we only can Imagine, the
E which is his Everlasting Joy!
And now the angels' voices are resounding -
"Welcome Home, Ronnie - our dear boy!"

The souls who've gone before us all are gathered
Smiling broadly, arms are opened wide,
Standing on the shore of life eternal,
Happy that he's come there to...

Over the past few days I have realized how special you were to so many people. Everyone has their own special memories and stories that make them smile when they think of you. Whether they were talking about Whitey, Ronnie or Frederick (Whose Frederick?)

I was reminded again and again by so many of you how much he was loved ..... and respected. Over and over I heard friends and family refer to him as a man of integrity and pride. And that made me smile at such a sad...

Whitey was a great friend to me. He had such a good heart & a great sense of humor. He was soooo patient with me when I first started golfing. I miss him already. Whitey, say HI! to Ray for me.

I consider myself very lucky to have been a close friend. I will always remember the good times we have had. I'll miss you,buddy.
Rest in peace.Till we meet again.
