To all of Ronnie's family please accept my sincere condolences. I was Ronnies next door neighbor,classmate a nd friend growing up. We had many adventures on Palmer Road. I was so blessed to have had the chance to visit and mostly remenisce about the old days at our last class reunion. I can tell you I was shocked when I found out how many kids he had and yet after he was done bragging about all of you I knew it was exactly as it should have been. Please live in the comfort of knowing he will always be watching over you.

I am so sad to hear that Ron had passed. He was truly a good person. He showed his love of life through his wonderful family and everything he did. Everyone he touched became better for knowing him. I know he is at peace and in the arms of God where we will all meet him again. God bless him and his family. I will always keep a good thought for all of you.
