My heart is broken today, at finding out about Ronnie. He was not only my first cousin, but we were inseparable as we were growing up. I loved him dearly. I hadn't seen him lately, but him and Betty were on my mind often. To Betty and the family, I am deeply sorry and I know he will be missed. Love to all. JoAnn Rosser-Cook

Ron, What a precious man you were. I'm so thankful that Betty had such a wonderful life with you. I wish everyone was that blessed . I remember when I was very young and you and Betty and Rooster would come and get me and take me home for the weekend. I always felt that I was rich when I was with you all. Also, how I enjoyed singing to Rooster on the front porch swing. Lou thought the world of you and Mom would always tell him how smart you were and he would say "I'm almost as smart as Ronnie" We would get a laugh out of that. You were a wonderful husband, father and brother-in-law. All our love and prayers to Betty, Rooster, Bonnie, Rodney and grandchildren .Didn't get to visit often but you will be missed dearly. Love Bon, Lou and family
