Ellen, my mom Anna Mae Anderson met you two at Dunkin Donuts and then I had the pleasure. My mom was born same day as Ronnie Jan. 29, 1936. I still have the drawing of a Stonington fishing boat on a Dunkin napkin that Ronnie drew for me. I enjoyed picking out some of your homemade crafts at your home for my grandson. My mom passed away Sept. 17, 2022 at my home in Colorado. If you are still living behind the post office, I will come by when I am home this summer. Ronnie was a great man and loved his family.

Oh where do I start, I have so many fond memories! He was the best story teller and he made me laugh, when I was down! He always was so happy to see me no matter if it was a day or a year or two! He never forgot! He will be sadly missed! RIP my friend!
