My Deepest Sympathy to the Mellen Family...



Ronnie's always been a dear and close friend to my family and to also myself...



I'm sure he's met up with my brother Richard and my father Dante and they are talking about old times they had together while they were here with us and the good old days at the Little Brown Jug...



Ronnie will surely be missed by all....



Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

We had some great and crazy times together and those times will always be topics of good conversation. You are now a Harley-Davidson angel. Love ya.

Ronnie was a wonderful man, a devoted father and a great friend to the people in his life. He was always willing to lend a helping hand. I met him when I was a little girl through my sister and brother-in-law, Bonnie & Rob Lindholm. He will be missed deeply by many. His time was cut short but he will live on in MANY hearts forever.
