Adam was made from the dust of the earth, but Christ came from heaven above. Every human being has a body just like Adam's, made of dust, but all who become Christ's will have the same kind of body as his--a body from heaven. 1 Corinthians 15 46:49
Ronny, your body on earth is truly missed, but your spiritual body with Christ will always be in our hearts and minds.
God Bless You,
Denise

HI Ronny, It's just about a year since you left. I can't begin to explain how much I miss you. I hope your new place is a peaceful one. My only wish is for your happiness. I can only make sure that I remember all of the love and comfort you gave me and all of the things you taught me. I will make sure my children reap the benefits of your knowledge and that they carry them forward. Until we meet again dear brother, know that I will love you always.
Your Sister, Joyce

Dear Brother Ronny,
You were the brother everybody wished they could call their own, but you were mine, and I am so thank full for that. You are my brother you was my friend an my supporter I knew if I called you for anything you was always their, weather it was just to talk or if I needed you for something big or little. You would talk to me through my panic feelings and make me feel better, or even just had something on my mind, and I want to thank you for all you did for me. You tried to help me with my fears, but now the fear is that your not here. My heart is broken and my eyes are weary. You will always be in my heart and in my thoughts and if it’s true, I know you are watching down, but give me a sign.
Your job here I think was to help everybody you could help and open peoples eyes to let them see it didn’t matter how much money you had rich or poor all they had to do is to be kind to each other and reach out in those who needed it, just the simple things in life. In the bible that’s what Jesus did and you were walking in his footsteps. Your heart and help was their for everybody you came in contact with and more.
If I could make you a saint I would , because you was a true saint. you are a son a father a brother an uncle and a grandfather and a friend, and that you’ll always be, but most of all you are my Brother Ronny… I will never forget your sayings WATCH YOUR NECK, BREAK TIME, JUST LET ME FINISH THEN YOU CAN TALK, I LOVE YOU AND I’LL SAY A PRAY FOR YOU….. I will always love you, you will never be forgotten you will be in my heart and in my thoughts and you will be with me every step I take.
I love you
your sister Joanne
P.S I know you’ve earned your hallo and wings, but I also hope you get a guitar instead of a harp.

It gets harder everyday...i cant think of you without crying.. so for now i have to change my way of thinking..until i can absorb the fact that i will never hear your voice, see your face..or get comfort in just knowing you were the best friend i ever had... i will keep my memories at bay until im ready to think of you without this crazy pain in my heart...Ronny you meant the world to me... even when we would argue for hours...Haha i even miss that!

Dear Auntie Jenny, Mario and family,
I am so saddened and surprised to hear the news of Ronnie's passing. Tracy sent me a message via FaceBook. As i look at the Guest Book photos i am struck by the picture of you and Ronnie and (?)...in the North End? and that is how i remember you all...those are my fond memories.
You are in my thoughts. Please be easy on yourself.
Much love to you all.

One of the luckiest days in my life was the day I met Ronny 20 years ago. He was and will always be a member of our family. He was the greatest friend I've ever had. A totally sincere, generous, loving person. His life was a shining example of the finest qualities that lie within the human heart. That beautiful smile and twinkle in the eye are immortal. He was a true friend in need, and a man who has taught us all, by example, how to be better.
The DeSimone Family will never forget him, and cherishes the wonderful times we shared. I was made infinitely happy this past week,to see and realize what a wonderful family he has. Ronny and Darlene are exceptional people that I am sure he was most proud of. I thank you Ronny for 20 glorious years of friendship. There will never be another like you.

Hi Ronny, It's me Joyce. It' been 10 days now and I can't get a hold of my emotions. I have desperately tried to write something here but nothing is sufficient. I've run the whole gammit of emotions, sad, mad, and everything in between. I could literally write all day and never be able to express my feelings. I do know that I am grateful for 1 thing, always hearing you say I love you and me saying it back after even the shortest phone calls. You, kid, are one of a kind and I will never stop talking to you. I will have to wait for the answer to the most prominent question which is, WHY?. No human being can help me with this so I will ask you when I get there. All right big brother, I love you, now DON'T "GET LOST"

There are so many words on this site that describe Ronnie. So many people whose lives he touched. With the twinkle in his eye, his smile from ear to ear, his wonderful voice......How could you not miss him? Jenny you created a great wonderful human being. We fortunate enough to share a small portion of him. I will hold him in my heart forver.
Darlene
March 24, 2011
Today starts the day off my new life, a life that I definitely wasn't ready for. Joe went back to work and the usual routine, starting around now, would have been my father ringing my phone off the wall, then me finally answering, and him telling me he was stoping by for coffee--which really meant breakfast, lunch, dinner, and television until about 10pm tonight. God I will miss that so much. My father did everything for me. He was love, faith, comfort and security. I don't even know how to pick up the pieces. If I could have talked to God, I would have begged him to change his plans. That being said, I know that is not possible and we have to move forward. I would like to thank all of his family and friends for their support. I knew that the services would bring many people but when the line just kept coming and never ending, it just made me so proud and happy to have been his daughter. Even though he was taken too soon, I have a lifetime of memories to keep me going. I will always keep in touch with his old friends and I look forward to getting to know his campground friends. He loved all of you. He will forever live in our hearts and I am positive he will talked about on a daily basis and I am sure his stories will keep going at every holiday party. I love and miss you Dad. We will never be the same. Please watch over us.
I love u

Oh Ronny...You always made me smile and laugh no matter what the situation was. I am thankful that I just got to spend the day with you a few weeks ago and that my little girl and husband were blessed to meet you. It was a warm lovely day filled with heartfelt memories of the past and Ronnys wonderful guitar. That is how I will remember you for always... I miss you terribly.
My warmest thought are with you all.

Steve and family,
I have to wonder if things that were so fun, funny, and bright will seem that way again. And yet I am sure Ronny would not want the joys of this world to leave with him. My experience with you all is not all that extensive, but anyone in your presence witnessed the love between brothers. Steve, your message of love did not go unsaid, even if it might have been unspoken. My heart goes out to you all. Alison Colby-Campbell
We'll miss you terribly, Love the Yankee Swap Gang.

For the past few dayz, I have read the postings here and on his wall and it's taken me a few more dayz to sift thru my memry bank. Sometimes laughing, sometimes, depending on the song that's on the radio, some tears here and there. I was only privy enuf to know him this last year. He certainly tortured me every w/e @ camp and off season @ home via phone calls. He left NO stone unturned. I called him check man early on in camp d/t he would always ask me" When u get you check" so we can go out to eat. He was forever telling me, I was rich. Unbeknownst @ the time to me, YES, I was rich. Rich for knowing him! Towards the end of Camp, I relabeled him the Babysitter. I know very well right now he can hear me and he's laughing, laughing and He's ready to torture me some more...hey Ronnie, do me a favor, all I want is a sign, Break a light Bulb, drop a pencil, Anything. Most recently he told me," hey when Baldo throws you off his site don't think your coming ova to my Trailer bcuz I ain't letting you in". Ummm, ok, but your still the Babysitter n when I say you babysit you will babysit!. Just a few months back during all our lovely sno storms, He came from Saugus, MA to Cambridge, MA just to bring my Grandkids something and he had to borrow a car to do it and he did!. He is an Incredible Incredible, Man.
Right now, I cannot thank God for allowing our paths to cross this past year d/t I am still mad and sad. Mad that he called him home. Sad that he listened and went. BUT, I can Thank 1 person, the Matriach of this family.
To his Mom: I Thank You very, very much from the bottom of my heart for bringing your son Ronni in2 this world in the 1st place and than allowing our paths to cross some 61 years later. Bcuz of you (Jennie) I am Forever Rich just for knowing him.

Someone like Ronny comes along maybe once in a lifetime, or perhaps even less than that. He was a wonderful family member and an outstanding friend to all. He carried many virtues with him that would otherwise seem lost in today's world, and from his example we can all learn to better ourselves. Although this is a deeply hurtful time for all of us, we are fortunate to have the countless and joyful memories that he left with us. I know I will always remember him whenever I hear someone call out "break time!" When I think of how amazing Ronny was, I realize that I am blessed to be able to call him, Uncle.

One doesn’t know how much their life is impacted by another until they’re gone. Ronnie you touched our lives deeply and forever. I’m grateful for our big group hug when we last parted. Our memories are short, but huge. The videos of you singing with Nelson (Elmo) make us giggle like children. You brought much joy to all who know you as evidenced by all the entries here. You are greatly loved and missed. To all the Baldassaris, the Bretons hurt deeply for your loss. We carry you all in our hearts and thoughts. God Bless You All. Love, Wendy, Nelson, Amber and Brianna

There are so many things I would like to say, but the only recurring question in my head is why?
I would like to thank everybody for thier thoughtful words. Many poeple only knew him for such a tiny period of time, but his impact was impressionable. He did so much for so many people, no matter the situatuion or circumstance.
I am going to miss the weekends during the summer, the Sunday dinners in the winter, but most of all, I am just going to miss my brother. His influence on the world was never unnoticed, but God must have needed his help to cure the world from above. I don't know if there is a waiting period for angels to get their wings, but I honestly don't know anybody that is more deserving of wings than my Brother, Ronny. I wouldn't want one week, one day, not even one hour. All I want is just one minute to tell him how much I love him and how much he meant to me.

Dad, I am struggling. I miss you so much. My whole life revolved around you. This pain and loss is weighing so heavy on my me and I don't know how to pick up the pieces of my broken heart. I call upon God and you, my angel in Heaven to give me and Ronny the strength that we need to get through this. I love you, Darlene. ?

March 21, 2011
Ronny,I am so deeply saddened in my heart that you had to leave this world so soon.I can't even express all the feelings that I'm having inside my heart.I do want you to know having you in my life has made me see the world in so many different lights.I want you to know you have given me the best things anyone could ever ask for in my life and that is our children and grandchildren.I couldn't have asked for a better father and roll model to share in raising them. The only regret I have is that you can't be around to watch our grandchildren grow into the wonderful men and women that our kids became.I guess there really isn't to much more I can say except we will keep your memory alive to them always!!Until we meet again Ronny, rest with the angels...I love and miss you already.

It's taken me a few days 2 sift thru my memory bank, laughing mostly n depending on the song that comes on the radio some tears here n there...I only had the opportunity of knowing him this last year. He torchured me w/e's @ camp and off season via phone calls. He left NO stone unturned.

Later in camping season, I labeled him "Babysitter" and I know very well he can hear me now n he's laughing n telling me "go on get out of here". Most recently, he told me, "When Baldo throws u off his site, don't think your coming ova 2 my trailer"PK 3A, bcuz I ain't letting you in! Ummm, ok, don't worry, you r "the Babysitter" n you will babysit when I tell you 2...:)
He is an Incredible, Incredible Man. Full of Life, Laughter, Music n Love. Even during all our lovely snowstorms this year, he came from Saugus, MA 2 Cambridge, MA just 2 bring my grandkids something, he even borrowed a car 2 do it. Right now I cannot "Thank God" for
allowing our paths 2 cross even for the short period of time I knew him d/t I'm still very very sad that he called him home. BUT, I can Thank 1 person: To Ronnie's MOM: I Thank You so very very much, from the bottom of my heart for bringing into this world your Son Ronnie. I will be forever "Rich" for knowing him.....

I am so sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a beautiful example of Gods pure love. He always helped where he was able,loved without judgment and had a smile and laugh that lit up a room. I will always remember his Tuscan White Bean soup and home grown red hot peppers and the love that came with the food. Please know that he is with God and watching over all that he loved. I am sure he is proud of all of his children and grandchildren.
His heart reached out to many so he will always be with us and his family.
Thoughts are with you all during this difficult time

Papa Ronnie, you came into my life 6 years ago when I met and fell in love with your daughter. We began our family and you were there every step of the way. You never missed a milestone and you never missed a first word. You never missed a birthday and you NEVER SAID NO. You taught your grandchildren so much and they will deeply miss you. I will never forget your cups of tea and our Friday night card night. The kids will never forget the monster mash that you sang to them on so many nights. Watching the Celtics and Patriots will never be the same. You were our security blanket Papa Ronnie and I want you to know how much you will be missed and you will never be forgotten.

Alright Steve and Ronnie quit fooling around!!! How are wish you were.This is such a shock!! I want to thank Ronnie for showing me the ropes in driving cab in E boston and how he would always make me laugh. I just recently got connected with Steve and Ronnie after 20 something years. It was great to see them both. I have to tell you Ronnie looks like Kenney Rogers. I nevered relized how good his voice was and his memory wow! ( he knew how many years I worked driving and every single cabdriver from East boston!)He has touched a lot of hearts I will miss our get togethers when I come up but if we listen hard enough we will be able to hear Ronnie. And (Ronnie the wine was bad!!!)
Sweet dreams and see you in paradise....

I was just made aware of this site and I've been sitting here reading all of the wonderful things that people have written about my brother. I'm trying to put some words down that would be comparable to the elequence expressed here by all of you...I'm unable to. Those of you who have come to this site to honor his memory know the unique humanity my brother posessed. He realized early in life, to judge people by their soul rather than their wallet. I am luckier than most, I can honestly say that I had a brother that was the nicest, kindest, most caring person I know. His various amusing sayings are lovingly spoken of on this site, and rightfully so, but the the saying that I'll associate the most with my brother's memory is:..."JOHNNY, I'LL SAY A PRAYER FOR YOU." You all know how special my brother was..There is no other words that have ever been said to me, (by anyone) that meant more to me than those words...I love you Ronnie.

Hopefully you knew my brother long enough to have heard all of his classic sayings. Among them:
"Alright.........beat it'"
"Alright.........get goin'"
"Watch your head!"
And my favorite one: "Wow,...........unbelievable....you're cheap!"
Ronny, my Godfather and my brother, I know that in heaven you will always have our departed family and friends laughing and smiling. You were one of a kind and we'll meet again for sure!
God Bless You,
Denise

My Dear Ronnie,
Words can't express how sad I was to hear of your passing. You always held a special place in my heart. When I think of you I will always remember your contagious smile and good heart. I am so glad you were a part of my life. I will never forget your singing to me "IF YOU WANT TO HAVE FUN TAKE ALONG ROSALIE". My thoughts, prayers and love go out to you and your family. You will be missed.

Ronny Baldo......I just can't believe it. I am so sad for your children and grandchildren whom you lived for. It was always great seeing you and hearing you play "pretty blue eyes" for me. That will always be our song. I wish your family the strength they are going to need to get through this. You always were and Angel in my eyes.
Love, Rene' DeMarco Fagone

I will always remember the kind and funny person you were, i remember when my grandmother got sick you use to come over and play your guitar for her and it would make her smile,(something she didn't like to do.)but you could do that for her. You also made my stepfather jimmy a proud man to say you was his best friend. I know that you now have the oppertunity to play for her again up in heaven...and until it's my turn to go i know you will be waiting for us all at the gates of heaven playing your wonderful melodies for us...you will turely be missed....

I maybe met you once or twice through Gina or Vicki, and OH they loved you oh so much: there dear, sweet friend Ronny, everytime they spoke of you their faces would light up and sharing all their stories of you. Made me love you just as much. If love could have saved you, you never would have died. See you again Gayle Lacedra

Ronnie, you were'nt just a friend, you were more of a brother to me and my family.
there has never been a time that you didn't put a smile on my face or fill me with laughter. It hurts me so much that you had to go, but I'm happy for you that you will be entertaining the angels in heaven and praying for us. Thank you for the wonderful memories and music. I will always miss you. Love, Jimmy and Marie Chianca

To the Baldassari Family,
I was truly blessed to have had the opportunity to meet Ron,who I mistakingly called "Stonie!" The very first time I met him he was a ball of fire,with a warm personality and overall a really nice guy. The best guitarist and solo singer who was so entertaining. I am so very sad to hear of his passing as he will be truly missed. I will truly miss you "Stonie" at night by the fire playing your guitar and singing my favorite tunes!! And at turles too! Sorry you had to leave us as it is so sad. Until we meet again, I will listen and hear you for you playing from above. Rest in peace. Your friend, Jackie

Dad, I am so sad that you are gone. My heart is broken and I am having so much trouble. I miss you so much. You are so special--just the best father a child could have. It pains me that Joseph, Jamason and Shaye are going to miss out on the best man who ever walked the face of this earth. You were such a special human being, just so unique and so selfless. NOBODY was like you and they never will be. You were there for me all of my life and you were a huge part of my foundation. I don't know what I will do without you. I love you and I will honor you by living my life like you by putting myself last and living to help others. I have no doubt that you went straight to heaven. You are truly a son of God and I guess your work here was done so he called you home. I love you so much and I will never let your Grandchildren forget you. You will be celebrated forever. Love your Daughter, Darlene. xoxo
