To me Ronny was like my Brother. Our first meeting was 5th grade then on to high school, college, working and living together in Ohio, the Marines. We were Best Man at each of our wedding.Our kids grew up calling us Uncles. He will always be with me in good memories. Ronny would always say about life “We have had a good ride”. Love you buddy.
I have so many fantastic memories of my Uncle Ronnie. He was so fun loving and so caring of everyone. A great legacy to pass on to others. I'm so devastated that Genny's and my major health issues have kept us home bound the past four years. I loved him so even when he chased me through the hay field with a huge blacksnake laughing all the time.
My pawpaw was the greatest grandfather ever. I have a picture of my family and I at the beach when I was about 6 or 7 years old. Both my grandparents held me by the hands and let me jump the waves. My pawpaw hated getting in the water, but he got in it for his grandkids. I will cherish that memory and photo forever.
