Five years seems like such a long time that Ron has been gone. I have missed him so much. He was always just a phone call away, but for now, the memories will have to suffice. Wishing all God's blessings to Noel and family members. Our eternal hope continues for a glorious reunion with Ron and others one day soon.

Precious Noel and family, I can only imagine the joy Ronnie experiences every moment in his heavenly home. I think of all of you often and miss seeing you. Our sweet Ronnie is forever in our hearts, and one day soon we will all be back together. I love you and I am thinking of you today.

I remember how wonderfully kind Ronnie was. He was always thinking of others. Ronnie told funny stories and made people laugh. He loved spreading joy. Even now, when I think of time spent with Ronnie, I feel blessed.
Besides being compassionate and loving, Ronnie was brave. He counted his blessings, even when he faced death. His precious wife, children, and grandchildren were so dear to him. He focused on the gifts he had been given and thanked God for his life.
I know that Ronnie is in his heavenly home. There is no doubt in my mind that when he entered heaven's gates, he heard, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."
Love you, Ronnie!

My cousin, Ronnie, was an inspiration. He never had anything bad to say about anyone. He was a man who encouraged others, who loved well, and who faced difficulties with bravery and strength. I am certain that when he entered his Heavenly home, God said, "Well done, my good and faithful servant!"

Ron was a "one of a kind" we always hear about, but seldom actually meet and enjoy being around. He did however tell some of the most corney jokes I have ever heard..................but he did make me laugh one time. He certainly will be missed, but it is heavens gain for sure.

Just today I have heard about Ron's passing and want to say my deepest condolences to his wife Noel and Family.
I got to know Ron a few years ago when he joined our driving team at Enterprise. He was a great colleague and became a good friend. I missed him all these months he had been sick because he always had such funny and positive ideas when we were on the road. Now he will be looking down to us from heaven and smile.

Ron was a good friend that I first met at GE in Ohio in the late 80s. He was always smiling and his love of family and God was evident. We had many good times playing golf in Ohio and Wilmington. We treasure his and Noel's visits with us at our timeshare in Hilton Head as well as their homes in Wilmington. May God comfort Noel, Steve, Emily and their families.

Ron was not only my biological brother, he was a best friend and mentor to me. We grew closer as time went by because of the common ground in our Christian faith. Ron was always there when the problems of life appeared, helping in whatever manner he could. He will be greatly missed, but not forgotten. I could not have had a better brother and friend.

I knew Ron through my brother Joe's friendship with him. I had the pleasure of seeing Ron and Noel on visits to my brother and sister in law. Ron was so much fun to be with, and such a kind gentleman. His faith in Jesus was very evident through his life and his manner. I will really miss seeing him on future visits to Joe's. But I know that someday we will all be together again with the Lord. And I believe that in Heaven, for Ron's sake, LSU will always win the National Championship.
