Ronnie was a neighbor and childhood friend who I remember as always smiling and always in high spirits.
We had many great times and high adventures together which I will always remember. I know he will be greatly missed by his friends and family.
May Ronnie rest in peace.
Shared many memorable experiences, some firsts for both. My condolences for the the family, especially Tommy and Charlotte. Went by the house everyday I attended school since the 6th grade. May he rest in peace and be welcomed into the loving arms of Christ.
Ronnie & I were high school buddies and were in the Army together. Ft. Benning, Ga., Ft. Gordon, Ga., Military Police Training, Ft. Bragg, N.C. The day MLK was shot, April 1968, we were deployed to Washington, D.C., that night. We flew in on a C130, two East Atlanta Boys not knowing what was ahead of us. We patrolled the city together in a jeep for several days as Martial Law was in effect. Spent that Easter Sunday together bivouacked on Potomac Point Golf Course at Haynes Point, next to the Jefferson Memorial. We were on riot control duty that Spring & Summer in Washington. Ronnie served his country with honor. ‘Only the good die young’….RIP Ole Friend
So sorry to hear of Ronnie’s death. May he rest in peace.

Ronnie always made me laugh. We had some fun times at EAH and I will always remember him with that great smile. The last time I saw him was at one of the EAH BBQs. He was so proud of his children and couldn’t say enough about them. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and especially for Tommy and Charlotte.
Had many memorable times with Ronnie & Tommy, will miss his upbeat personality.Just re-connected at EAH lunch last month, so glad we had that time. RIP good friend.
