Aunt Phyl, Sue & Bob, Chuck, Marie & family, Goose & family and Deb & girls: Sending you my love and hugs. I have so many, many wonderful memories of good times with Ronnie going back as far as I can remember. The Pontibaker, haircuts at Gramma and Grampa's, seeing him at school everyday, his letting me drive the corvette on the ice covered streets of De Kalb, I could go on and on. I will never forget his quick wit and sense of humor even in the face of his physical challenges. He was a very, very strong man to face his challenges daily undaunted and head on without complaining. He fought so hard for so long just to be able to get up in the morning and keep going. He got that from you Aunt Phyl and from Uncle Russ. You should be so proud of him as I am. I am sorry I can not be with you all. You have always been there for me. I love you all more than you will ever know. Rest in peace dear cousin knowing you are loved and will be missed.
