Read MoreRonnie has and always will hold a special place in our hearts. We loved being with him when we visited in Florala and at our Grandma Gamble's in the Pleasant Plains community.

It breaks our hearts that Ronnie is no longer with us. We rejoice that he is with the Lord and free of the struggles of this life. We are also comforted by the many memories and times spent together in school and family gatherings.

I worked with Ronnie at Spanish Fort Water System. He was an amazing story teller, a wonderful teacher and a cherished friend. He truly loved people and people couldn't help but love him. I will miss him dearly.

Ronnie and I were 1974 graduates of FHS. Ronnie always had a good disposition and a fun loving attitude. I don’t believe I ever heard an unkind word associated with him. He was a big part of the 1973 football team that didn’t lose a game until the 2A state championship game versus Glencoe. May God comfort his family during this tough time.

Ronnie was like the "big brother" I never had. I shall never forget the days when I was visiting his mother, Ms.,Sara Gamble (and she would receive a phone call from him),her face would beam with joy ....no one had to ask who on the other end of the line. He was such a blessing to others as he lived his faith as he walked upon this earth. He made each second count.May God bless your family during this time of sorrow, just knowing that one day we will see one another again, when the Roll...
