PS....Ronnie...you also left without replacing my birdfeeder you backed into ! You sitting there grinning from ear to ear with bird seed all over the car ! Seriously ? Your Driving was at times a little less than perfect......love you!
i will miss you so much ronnie.Your name and number remain in my phone.i can think of hundreds of things i wished i had said before you left us.I am so thankful i talked to you on thanksgiving. When i came to your memorial last night i was just in AWE of all the people that were there to honor you and to hear how you touched so many lives. You were loved by so many people! Your everyday antics put a smile on a lot of faces. It was 40 years ago when we met as teenagers. I am so blessed that you were in my life. I hope you always knew how much you meant to me.When you gave me a 28 year sober coin two years ago I was like "Oh my God"! I will cherish that forever. I was very proud of you.You had so many reasons to be proud of yourself. You showed that you had the heart, the brains and willpower to accomplish the things in life that you were so proud of doing.It is so hard to face the reality that i will never hear your voice or see your face ever again in this life. .......I Love You......Brenda
I am very saddened to hear that Ronnie has passed. We grew up together and went to the same schools. Ronnie and I would give each other a hard time just for the fun of it. He had a heart of gold. Ronnie, you are in heaven now, where life begins. Memories will always be here. May you rest in peace dear friend.
Ron,
You were one of the kindest, sweetest, most gentle man I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. You were a joy to have around; funny and giving. I always enjoyed your company and conversation. You will be missed dearly.
Cassandra
