Ronald Carroll

In memory of my Uncle Ronnie, I will miss him more than words can be said. I pray he Is no longer in any pain and are resting in peace. When I return to Springfield to visit family, it will never be the same without seeing him! His favorite quote Got to be more careful will always put a smile on my face and on my Heart ♥

Growing up in Spfld, Ma., specifically the inner city, playing sports basketball for the Dunbar and DeBarry playground Ronnie was a giant among men, he was that father figure for every young man whether you had a father or not he filled that role and cared about you genuinely. Always pleasant and friendly and always with a kind word filled with inspiration. He will be truly missed but remembered even more!

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Another wonderful gentleman that I had the pleasure of meeting when I arrived in Springfield to attend college in 1965. When I saw him, he was either on his way to or coming from a place where he provided encouraging words especially to young people. I, as a college student, was a beneficiary of his warmth and encouraging words. Rest-In- Peace Ronnie.

Although I did not get to work closely with Ronnie his aura radiated to us all. He seemed to be everywhere doing everything when I was growing up. He helped us envision more than we could see for ourselves. He gave us vision that let us cast our dreams beyond what our diminutive communities let us see. We are a better world because of the hundreds, thousands of kids directly or indirectly touched by Ronnie. Thank you for fulfilling God's plan for you. The world would be much less, without...

Ronnie was one of the nicest people I've ever known, the world was a much nicer place with him in it, always a perfect gentleman. condolences to his entire family
