I'm so sorry to hear of Ronee's passing. My sincere & deepest condolences go out to the family. As a young boy living down the street from me on Illinois Ave he was always helping me in my garden or helping me with my 2 daughters, Tiffany & Danielle. He was always so very kind & helpful, just a joy to have around. Prayers to you all.

I am so sad to read this. Ronee was a dear friend of mine. He worked at Viles Buick with my ex husband and I got to know him from there. Ronee loved to make people laugh and he was very good at doing that. I will miss him so much. My prayers go out to his Mom and his wife and children.
