My condolences to your family, I was a young girl in 7th grade when I would ride my bike over to see Ronnie after school. Mr D would always smile and kid me about the crush I had on his son, and always make sure to tell me to be safe. What wonderful memories you all have to carry with you.
A friend passed this on to me knowing how much I thought of your family.

Dear "Aunt" Jeanne, Ronnie, Michael Pat and Jacy;
I am so very sorry to hear about Uncle Ross and for your loss.
I enjoyed any time Danny & I got to spend with him. I very much liked to hear all his famous stories and his humor was second to none! He was so filled with joy of life and spry for his age.....I would certainly say he lived his life to the fullest.
My favorite memory is the time he asked me if I would like to see pictures of his grandchildren.......and he pulled out not one, but 7 wallets!! Each fully organized. Or, of course there was the time Uncle Ross left Aunt Jeanne at the cemetery in the pouring rain after Uncle Tony's funeral, so Aunt Jeanne asked to ride with Dan and I to the luncheon. I can tell you, that was one of the funniest car rides I have ever had!! God bless you Aunt Jeanne!!
Please accept my deepest sympathies during this difficult time. A big hug for you, Ronnie.
I'm sure Uncle Ross has found a casino in Heaven and is holding a cold bottle of beer!!
Fondly,
Jackie Kroulaidis
