I attended Ronnie's Bartending School in 1974 after a 4 year stint in USAF. I was advised to go by Jim Cook owner of the Bull's Head Inn in Woodbury. Ronnie taught the art of bartending. He was one of the last of the truly professional bartenders.. One of the best!

I was a student of Ronnie's in 1974 after I got out of the USAF. I was a bartender in Woodbury, NJ for 4 years while I attended West Chester State. I also did private parties. Ronnie instilled in me being a bartender was more than just mixing drinks for your customer. He was a professional!

He was one of my greatest teachers, and I have been blessed with many. He had amazing skills in terms of people and always took the high road in his interactions. Thank you, Ronnie. Always in my heart.

Ronnie was a wonderful neighbor and friend, who knew the true meaning of kindness. He took great pride in being kind to others. We will remember him always. God bless Ronnie.

I used to sell Girl Scout Cookies to him. I never got to give him his last order. But he would always pay me in pennies.
