I always enjoyed my conversations with Ronnie. He and I could both be a bit of talkers so there were several occasions where we had to be dragged out of there! Being around him with his kids, grandkids, nieces, and nephews made it obvious how much he was loved. I’m grateful for getting the chance to know him and spend the time I got with him. He will truly be missed. Rest In Peace.
