I talk about Ronnie all the time. He was someone that I idolized as a wonderful person and
at AGS. He was a mentor, friend and made amazing contributions to AGS over many years. He is truly missed by so many of us.

Sally, Marilyn and I are heartsick over Ronnie's death. He was always the perfect gentleman and such a great role model for me and so many other AGS members. He was so much more than a jeweler, he was the epitome of what a professional and a gentleman should be and, he was a great friend. I always looked forward to visiting with him and enjoyed our flights together after board meetings. He will surely be missed by many. God Bless you and your family.

Sally:
I am so sorry about your loss of Ronnie. He was such a nice man.
You might not remember me but I remember you both. I rented a townhouse to you some years ago and you two were the best tenants I ever had. It was a pleasure renting to you and knowing you both'

Sally, I have been back in San Angelo over 7 years. I occasionally read the Ruidoso News and so shocked to read of Ronnie's passing! The two of you were favorites of mine. He once brought me a Rolex box for my watch. I am truly saddened at this news and pray for your peace in the days and years to come. Lavonia Kerby

The jewelry industry has lost a true gentleman and honest businessman. Our association through the American Gem Society spanned many years and countless business and personal conversations developed into our close friendship. Honesty, integrity, level-headedness and a brilliant financial mind voiced in a calm manner are Ronnie's legacy. RIP dear friend.
