Janet, I was saddened to get the news of Ronnie's passing. May you find comfort and strength in the many memories that you and Ronnie lived. As kids I have many happy memories of Ronnie - playing football, wiffle ball, and basketball in his backyard. We also played many baseball games on the field that Leo Barnes built for us in his pasture field. Our gang - Larry Theaker, me and Mike, and Mike Adams. Later years me and Mike would see you and Ronnie at the rest home. And remember each time we each tried to coax the resident cat into our families room. Carry Ronnie's memory with you always. Larry
