Not sure what to say?

Grandpa (Ronald) touched our lives so much. I feel so fortunate to have been able to know such a great man with such a big heart. His talents and his wisdom were endless and he will be truly missed.

We cherish the beautiful walking sticks that Tip carved for us.  He shared his talents (and his smiles) with many people.  We are blessed to have known him.       Chuck and Dianne Lamb

Dear Aunt Marietta-
I will always cherish the time that I got to spend with you and Tippy when you would come back to visit. He truly was my favorite Uncle for so many reasons that can't be explained here. He always made me feel as if my education was worth while. I am sad but at the same time am rejoicing with the Angels that he finally got to go home. Maybe him and Linda can have some of the conversations that I'm going to miss so much.
Connie, Tony, Little Ron and Rhonda...

Those of us who can not make the trip to GA will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Uncle Ronald will be missed by many and is loved by us all.

Our thoughts are with you and the family
