Just heard today of crossing over of Ronnie- so sad had such a passion and zest 4 life and fellow Gemini incredibly sad. Just saw Ronnie @ John Lucarellis home in Florida and he complimented on delish Pizzeria Sophia food I had brought them from restaurant. He loved the pizza and coming from Ronnie that compliment was the ultimate since he was such an accomplished restauranteur. Great guy another one gone too soon rest in heaven and know you are sorely missed by many many people whos lives you touched by just being you. Again my condolences to his family and numerous friends in Saratoga.....

I am so sad to hear of Ronnie´s passing. He was a good friend to all, with a big heart and a terrific sense of humor. We first met at Dine Restaurant. I liked him immediately. He became great friends with my family. My daughter worked for him. My Ex was his bartender. Dine was the go to restaurant for a long time. People went there for the great food and for Ronnie´s magnetic personality. Bigger than life and always smiling. Later. It was 8 Tables and others after that. The Saratoga crowd followed his restaurants but it was more about Ronnie, who drew people in. I know many will miss him, most of all, his family about whom he spoke, and deeply loved. There is so much more I could say, so many stories and memories. We all have them, but I will leave it at this: Ronnie, you are gone too soon , but you left your imprint. God Bless you.

I have so many stories and fond memories of Ronnie since childhood. I had worked for him over the years at Katz's deli , Elegant Events, and several private functions. My memories are as far back as grade school. My heart breaks for his loss. I am sorry sorry for his family's loss and will be thinking of you all through these hard times. I am happy for the funny story my friend David recently shared with Ronnie of a great old story which I'm sure he had a good chuckle R.I.P. my friend. Susan Maturo Santana.
