Ronnie had many varied interests. Music was one of those staples in his life listening wherever and whenever he could. Ronnie was also a car enthusiast. He was extremely knowledgeable about many cars and often enjoyed attending car shows. He certainly was a chip off the old block since his father had a built, hot-rod truck that they both cherished.
Ronnie loved his family first and foremost, but he never missed an opportunity to hang out with his friends, and when they were together a good time was certainly going to be had.
