I think of Ron often I wonder if he knows that Dani Johnson has also passed on. I know they shared a story many years ago and I believe he was Dani’s first love. I remember many things about the Zito family. They were the best. I remember Millie’s cotton tree at Christmas and the feast on Christmas Eve. I remember the family very well and think of them every holiday. Days gone bye. I hope you Rest In Peace Ron. I will always remember you.

It has been a very long time since I've seen Ron but I have such great memories of Ron and the Zito family. Their Christmas celebrations were the best when Millie was there. I think she put up a cotton ball Christmas tree., if my memory is correct. Such fond memories of days gone by. Ron and the band. I have lost touch but never lost the memories. RIP Ron. You will always have a special place in my heart. Please say hi to Dani and Terri and tell them I miss them. My condolences to the Zito family.

I was so very sorry to hear of Ronnie's passing. I have fond memories of him from 11th grade. Going with him to his Prom, riding around in his red mustang. He was such a happy upbeat guy, always smiling and a lot of fun. My deepest condolences to the Zito family. RIP my friend.
