Played with & against Ronnie, & enjoy him with his unique personality. A real good hitter. I think i knew some of his family years ago & Dan McDonald a friend of mine, who knew some of you also. He also has died 9years ago. Best to all of you.

Knew Ronnie from Senior Softball. Very good hitter and could make those too long pants flap in the breeze when he wanted to really run. Know Charles from HBHS, Clark, and city basketball. Our prayers to the entire family it is a big loss. But I think you know just where to find him!
