It is with deep sadness that I send my condolences to Mr. Hamby's family. I loved seeing his face, our sarcastic banter and the twinkle in his eye. He was always kind to me even in the face of difficulties. I pray God wraps his arms around all of you and blesses you.

My deepest sympathies to Ronnie's family. I remember Ronnie as a teenager when he worked at the A & P, never saw him without a smile on his face or something to talk about. Although I had not seen him for many years until recently, I know he grew up to be a fine man. I am so deeply sorry to hear of his death. May God be with you all in a very special way during this time of sadness. I'm sure there was a big, happy Hamby family reunion in Heaven when he arrived.
