We have such wonderful memories of Ronnie. He was so kind and humble. He was the same no matter where we saw him - he greeted us with a smile and was genuinely glad to see us. He was always so good to his parents, and it was obvious he loved them dearly. He was just one of the good guys and we loved him. We are so sorry for your loss and will pray that you find comfort in the memories you shared. May God bring peace and solace to your broken hearts. We feel that there is a wonderful and joyful reunion in Heaven with those who have gone before.

To Uncle Ronnie
You have always there around my family during my youth through the good times and bad. I remember you coming to visit Every Christmas eve and/or day. I know mom will miss feeding you and making you Peanut butter fudge. I know daddy is going to truly miss your life together. Angelo told me yesterday you was his favorite Uncle. No matter how long it had been you always open arms to give me big hug. I will truly miss seeing. We love you so fondly Uncle Ronnie❤
