I am stricken. We were hoping to see him at our reunion. I can remember wicked crab apple fights, swinging on grape vines, building tree forts, and his red Impala. May God grant you strength.

I am shocked. Ron and I grew in Walton Hills on South Meadowpark, we played together, he had the coolest "go-kart," we started a rock band in his garage, yet never got out of the garage LOL, we drove to West Virginia once to buy fireworks. I was hoping to see him at our 50th reunion. To his survivors I pray for a comforting grace from our Savior.

Ron and I worked together for many years at Southwest General Hospital. Ron was a very competent manager and always very kind to patients. I am very sorry to learn of his death.

Audrey and family, I feel blessed to have known Ronnie. We had so many great memories of our childhood adventures. He was more like a brother to me than a cousin. May the Lord comfort you and fill you with peace during the days ahead. Love and prayers, Margie
