I will always have great memories of Ronnie aka Teddy Bear to me. I lived with Ronnie for 2 years at Umass Amherst and I always loved being around him. Together we would have cleaning duties and laugh and have fun while doing them. I will always remember his huge heart and sweetness. Warmest condolences to his family. Adam K

Mr. & Mrs. Cormier,

I was so saddened and shocked to hear of Ron's passing.

He was a fixture and a friend for me at both Brockton High and UMass...not to mention that I got to see him nearly every day since I lived across the street. Even now, I can picture his smile and wave as he walked down the driveway as clearly as if it were yesterday.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours during this difficult time.

My family has had the priveledge of knowing Ron through the years as a great family man and a wonderful person who has given tirelessly to the youth of our community.

Ron will never be forgotten by anyone who knew him. He was one of the nicest and kindest men I have ever known. It was an honor to work with him at MAC Risk Management. He was extremely well respected by all who worked with him, not only for his dedication and hard work but also for his willingness to help others. He always spoke affectionately of his wife and children whom he obviously adored. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I will always remember what a great person Ron was. A truly dedicated father who brought his two boys to the office when he didn't have a baby sitter. I worked with Ron and at that time was a single parent raising two kids single handedly and was always so impressed by such a wonderful father. He was patient loving and a hard worker who always extended his assistance to anyone who needed it. You could always count on Ron to guide you when you needed help. He was well respected by his peers and will never be forgotten. My condolences to his wife and beautiful kids. My prayers are with you.
