I think we should say thanks to Ray for his earlier post of Ronnie's update so we could all tell Ronnie how we felt about him before he left us while he was able to read and respond to the love and appreciation from his buddies here. RIP Ronnie

I spoke with Ronnie a few years ago when I began my 409 build. He spent an hour on the telephone answering all my stupid questions. Wish I could have met him. RIP

I had the privilege to meet Ronnie in Kansas and again in Bowling Green... He treated me like we had known each other forever. I miss his input on the forum already.

My condolences to his family and friends. The first time I met the "Texas crew" was at Thompson, Ronnie and Barry. I will raise a Canadian Coors Light tonight and think of Ronnie.

I was a bit shocked as I read through these posts to realize how many really great people our forum has lost in the recent past. Terrific people and real contributors all. As others have said, the bench racing sessions must be outstanding! RIP, Ronnie, and I hope the rest of us can step up and keep the energy high.

As it was stated earlier....we all knew Ronnie was not doing well but still I held out hope that he would make a recovery, as everyone did.
Ronnie was one of...."Those Guys"........that many looked up to just because of how he conducted his business and how he treated others.....
"Those Guys" are becoming few and far between.

It deeply saddens me to say but Ronnie passed away around 8:00 AM this morning. Not even myself expected this so soon. Ronnie fought hard to beat this. We raced, played golf, and fished together for many years with few arguments. I couldn't have had a better partner in our race cars. I like every one here on the forum will miss his wit, wisdom, and knowledge of motors. Barry

Barry - saddened to hear of the loss of your good friend. I can't express enough thanks for how much I have learned from Ronnie's through posts on these boards and from the visits I've had with you at the shop.
