Papaw Ronald was a huge KY Wildcats basketball fan. On March 19, 2016 him and his great great granddaughter Paislee Parker was watching the NCAA tournament together. She is 20 months old. Papaw Ronald would ask her what they wanted them ( the basketball team) to do and she would say shoot a three!!!! He loved her dearly. She will miss her Saturday visits with her Pap.
