I am very sad, Tina. There is a pain in my belly that will not go away. So sorry for you and all the family. There is a group of us that went all the way thru school together. How blessed I feel. We are still close. We happy Birthday and Happy Fathers day…Merry Christmas and all each other…we talk trash during football season. Ronnie was such an intragal part. It now feels frayed. I think it’s a United Kingdom word that captures how I feel, gobsmacked. In my mind, we are all still in 11th grade…this hurts.

Ron had a kind soul, always said to me, Hey Kid what’s going on, I never corrected him I liked that phrase. He helped me a few times in the past just so nice to me always. Just a Great friend all around never find a better guy ever. Our condolences to Time and his Family just another Very Sad date on the Calendar! So sorry.

Ron was an incredible human being. He was more than a baseball coach to me, he treated me like one of his own on and off the field. I loved hanging out with his kids. Tina and Ron are some of the best human beings to exist. My heart is shattered by this news.
