I could always count on Ronnie to stop buy about 4:30 a.m. while dispatching to check in on his way to get coffee. He was a great guy and we are all better for knowing him. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

I was so sorry to read about Ronnie's death. He was my boyfriend in junior high and I have fond memories of "hanging out" with him, Ricky, and Barbara Short. (It seems he was always walking on his hands.) The class of '69 will miss him. Again, my thoughts will be with you all.
