Truck was a soft spoken “big guy”. Excellent athlete and avid outdoorsman. We spent a lot of time together in high school playing football, throwing discus and shot in track - and wrestling. Many Saturday mornings after football games we would go squirrel hunting with Dave Dove & others. Ken Kuhn and I were with Truck when he landed the record pike at Holiday Lakes. There are many more Truck experiences and not enough room to elaborate here! I am sure Truck is outdoors hunting or fishing in heaven. RIP Truck.

Sorry to hear of Ronnie’s passing. Played high school football with him and after high school we hung out together sharing rides to RRD for work. Went on a 2week vacation with him to Colorado camping in 1979. Haven’t talked to him in quite awhile but would occasionally see him driving around Willard. RIP Truck 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I was in the same class as Ronnie. I wondered what ever happened to (Truck) after graduation. I remember the new International Scout that he bought while still in school. I remember him as a kind and gentle soul. I believe he worked at Donnelly’s after we graduated and he up and quit and I lost track of him, didn’t realize he was working right next door. So sorry for the Families loss, he was certainly one of the good ones. Till we meet again Trucker, RIP.

I went to school and played football with Ronnie. We hung out at school too. The football team called him “Truck” Williams due to being a great force on our line. My condolences to Ronnie’s family. He was one of the good ones.

Ronnie was a hard worker and never complained. When you got on a subject he enjoyed, like hunting and fishing, or his cats, his eyes lit up and he was happy to talk about them. Really nice guy and he will be missed.
