RONNIE was one of a kind everyone has special memories to cherish. Growing up with him and the Carlson and Williams classmates was a special time, Ronnie took on the position of big brother no one messed with him, Our friendship continued when I returned to Wts road trips, yearly field tours and cookouts, etc., and as we grew to this “mature” age, daily phone welfare checks. I WAS TO GO FIRST and no matter how sick he was he was family pallbearer and on my list. All kinds of crazy things we talked about. RIP Ronnie may God bless your wonderful family in their grief.
Dear Shirley & family..My thoughts and prayers are with you all..May the love of family and friends comfort you during this time…
Deep sympathies to our relatives! Brings out family history stories! My Dad and Mom had great ties. I just told Dad to go visit him again. I think as a kid we also got a puppy from them! Cherish time with Mom, although tough. Life is short. Love, Emil Kouba, Terri Harvey-Beversdorf, and Tom Beversdorf.
