Jane, I was so sorry to walk into work this morning and learn of Ronnie's passing. There are no words to describe the loss you must be feeling at this time. I hope to see you next month at the celebration of his life in Newport News. Until that time, just know I am thinking of you and praying for you as you make this huge adjustment to your days and nights without him beside you. God has got this so let Him carry you through this chapter.

I originally met Ronnie at the White Oaks Lodge about 60 years ago. He became a good friend and was there when you needed him. Later in life we got back together at the Hampton Elks Club and worked together in the community and with the Veterans and played many hands of cards. On occasion he would come and join us at Hampton Hunt Club in New Kent County. Ronnie will be greatly missed by his Elk brothers and close friends that met at Laura’s Restaurant. Goodbye my friend.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
