One of Ronnie’s favorite places to be, was on the water even though he couldn’t swim. He loved boating on Chippewa Lake and would fish any chance he could get.

For those who knew Ronnie, he was one of a kind and always lived his life to the fullest and “did it his way”. You will be greatly missed by all, and your spirit will live on in the memories of those whose lives you touched.
