    Loved my cousin Ronnie. A very kind and generous man with a wonderful sense of humor. He would give you the shirt off his back. Rest in peace Ronnie.

    Uncle Ron was an amazing man. Always so caring and generous. He would literally give you all he had and not blink an eye. He was such an Animal lover, I remember he rescued a dog that grew up not so friendly but he just kept saying ” He’s not mean, just misunderstood.”
    We are going to miss you, so much.
