Ronnie always wanted to please others and be accepted. He had such a huge heart. On Sunday, 5 January, Ronnie removed his oxygen mask so his nephews wouldn't be scared which allowed Ronnie one last chance to play and talk with them.

Ronnie loved to wrestle, roller skate, golf, play pool and most of all bowl. He had several near perfect score's while bowling during league games. He was awarded a ring for a 299 game of bowling. His biggest frustration in life was toward the end, he was not able to get out and do the things he loved. He loved people and was always talking to people nationwide. He was easy to love.
