17 Feb 2022My heart hurts for all of you, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Ronnie was a wonderful and kind man. He loved my little pupper-dog, Chablis, and she loved him. He would always take care of her when we would go out shopping or to a musical production at the Starlight Theater. Fly high, Ronnie, you will be missed.

21 Feb 2022My condolences to the family. I worked with Ron off and on over the years. Investments and gardening were our usual topics of conversation. He usually bested me at growing tomatoes, except for once when I forced a 4-pounder that amazed him at the time. Once again we are sorry to hear of his passing.
