Dear Ronnie,
Lake park would never be the same without it's wonderful mayor. You were the glue that got all of us together at the park. Your friendliness, interesting story telling, enjoyable company, unique, warm and easy going personality made everyone comfortable around you like we know you for years. You brought a lot of joy and laughs to our lives , and your absence will bring a deep sadness. You are leaving a big void and emptiness that will never be filled.
Ronnie, just know that you will forever live in our hearts that you touched deeply, your spirit will always be felt and your laughter, sense of humor and kindness will always be remembered.
My sympathy to all of the Haddad family,
