Dearest Ronnie,
You were such a classy individual and you took such good care of my sister. Thank you. And you always happily put up with Fran's antics. Remember the costumes you two wore for cruise contests? You get brownie points for that! We miss you.

Teri, Jim, Gena and Leah Conrath

Dear Ronnie, It is almost one year since you left me. I can hardly believe that it has been that long. I miss you every day and I will always Love you. You will ALWAYS be MY KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR. I LOVE YOU FRANCINE

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I will miss Ronnie dearly. When he walked into a room, you knew his presence was there. I had the honor of being his nephew, working with him and living with him and there was never a better man. I will miss his surprise visits at work and his conversations about anything. He was a star in life and I know he is lighting up heaven God bless him

Ronnie was a great guy, he was always warm and humorous. He was one of those rare people that always made you feel like you were his best friend, even if you hadn't seen him for awhile. Ronnie will be missed and we are deeply saddened by this loss; our thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.

I only knew Ronnie through the many stories told by his stepson Ryan Ross and by those stories I've understood him to be a very gentle, kind and supportive man.



May God's peace be with his family.
