Uncle Ronny was my favorite uncle. I always remeber going to his house in the summer and he would make me the best sandwiches. He would always put extra mayo on them. If not, then the hole bottle. Lol. Love and miss you uncle Ronny.

Ronny brought a smile to my face. It didn't matter how long we saw each other, he hugged me like he saw me yesterday. He reminds me of my dad and brought warm happy feelings every time I saw him. Words cannot express the sorrow I feel and he will truly be missed, RIP. Love Kelley Ann Sweeney (Hannon)

Ronnie was always good to us and was a wonderful example of what a family-man should be. He was always quick to offer a soda or taste of what he was cooking.We were blessed to know him on this earth and will celebrate with him in heaven. You will be sorely missed,Ronnie.

Condolences to the family on your loss. I was friends with Ronny for a brief time but they were very memorable years. When Ronny moved to Weymouth we became friends and had a lot of good times together. I am thankful for the time I did get to spend with Ronny as they are quite memorable. He was always quick to smile or stand up for a friend.

My deepest condolences to family members. Ronny was one of my closest friends growing up. A fellow "Hickory Hiller". We had a great childhood together. Ronny taught a few of us a lot about the city as we would go into South Boston on our escapades and then working at Frosty Village. Ronny was a tough kid but never mean spirited, always willing to help out a friend, always joking, fun and adventurous. Ronny and I shared a lot of firsts together, times that I will never forget. I will never forget how Ronny would mimic my mom as she called out my name from the sundeck as we hung out next to my house at "Tork" - "Paaaaauuuul"
Rest in peace Ron.
