Heartbroken to have learned of his passing. We first met him 46 years ago. Never knew a Better Friend, one of a Kind! We were truly blessed by his friendship.

My favorite memory of Ron was talking to him about his fun trips on his motorcycles and friends on his boat. He was such a fun, happy, guy. Always with a smile. He will truly be missed.

We are so sorry to hear of Ronnie's passing. We knew his parents from Salem Baptist Church and enjoyed hearing them talk about their son over the years. Our prayers are with the other family members.
