Ronnie and I were roommates in our Freshman year at LSU. Our dorm was inside Tiger Stadium! At age 18, he was already a Tiger fanatic as well as a bright, witty, and congenial friend.

Ron's encouragement throughout my life will be missed. He always has a great story to tell when I needed it, but my favorite memory was when I hit better than my area code (408) in high school. He told me great job, now hit for his (504) :) Ron always knew the right thing to say. And you all are right, he only loved 1 thing more than LSU, all my love and prayers go out to you Ginny.

My sister Fran and wish you God's blessings and comfort through this time of loss of your beloved husband, Ron, who was so dear to you. You know he is happy and peaceful now and in a much better place, and he will love forever with you in your heart. Ron will forever be missed...

Ron will be missed, he brought so much joy to and good times to everybody he interacted with. My father would have lunch with him almost every Friday until the end and I got to enjoy some of those lunches also. My father and I would meet up with the Nolan´s on New Years Eve and enjoy dinner at one of his favorite restaurants. So many happy memories. Ron was a great friend to my father and myself. May he rest in peace and forever be remembered.

Ron and I had many LSU conversations and he was the only dude I ever met who knew more and was more passionate about LSU football than me. Ron also loved his wife Ginny more than LSU football, but not by much. May Ron rest in peace in heaven... section 417, north end zone row 30 seat 10!
