I will certainly miss Ronnie. He was like a brother to me. I first met him when I was about 15 or 16 and that was when he first starting dating my sister Connie. Since that time he became a part of my family. We've traveled together and shared many milestones in each other's families lives. I know that he loved his family very much and they loved him. My family loves you and I love you too man. I know that you are in God's heaven smiling down on us - waiting for us on the other side.
