Ronnie was my friend for 37 years. I met him when I was 30 years old. He always made me laugh with his very original sense of humor. Ronnie was extremely intelligent. I´m going to miss my very good friend very very much.
My condolences to Bobbie and his whole family.
May his memory be a blessing to all of us.
