I just heard about Ronnie passing away Susan! Prayers and condolences to you and your family! I worked with Ronnie quite a few times and enjoyed every trip! I moved out of the Chicago area back in 1999,and would catch him out on the road before he retired! God bless!

So sorry for your loss. Ronnie was always a pleasure to be around. I remember playing hide and seek in the dark at my parents farm with he and Al and my siblings. What fun! Eating home made ice cream at Grandma's when we were kids.

Susan had a wonderful party in Sparta for his birthday. Their 40th wedding anniversary was a good time too.

We will miss him.
