June 20, 2010 Dear Glenn, June 20, 2010
Ronnie and I went to NNHS
together. He was always happy and had a smile on his face. I remember
watching him arrive at NNHS each school day, emerging from that little
Nash Rambler. I wondered how such a tall guy got into a such a small
car.
June 20, 2010 Glenn, I am sorry for your loss. After many years away from the area, I met up with Ronnie at the ARC workshop about ten years ago and we talked about growing up in Stuart Gardens and he always said he would pass along my best wishes to you and your mother. It was so nice seeing him again and hearing so many nice things about him from the other workers there. June 20, 2010
I am very sorry that Ronnie
passed away. He was one of my very best friends. I enjoyed his visits
and working with him at Sarah Hudgins. I will miss Ronnie. Your Friend,
Doris Nelson.
June 20, 2010 I worked with Ronnie at the Seniors program. I only knew him for a short time, but in that time I learned he was an amazing person. His voice and smile would light up a room and his loving and caring spirit will be missed by many people. June 20, 2010
Glenn, sorry to hear about your
sweet brother. I know you will have many wonderful memories to ease your
pain.
~ Patty Cash, Seaford, Virginia June 21, 2010 Glenn and family, June 21, 2010 Ronnie lived up the street
and around the corner from us here in Hidenwood. You could usually hear
him coming up the street on his bicycle. He was either singing or he had
his radio turned up loud so he could enjoy the music. He always had a
smile for you, maybe a story or two....and his presence was noticeably
missed after his departure from the neighborhood. Rest easy, my friend,
and sing....sing....sing.... June 21, 2010 May God bless you and your
family in this time of sorrow. June 21, 2010 Ronnie had this wonderful ability to quote verbatim the Meteorologist Joe Folkes and he even had Joe Folkes' voice down pat. I remember Ronnie singing in the Men's Choir at Newport News High School and like everyone else, I remembered his smile along with his Height because he was a tall man not only in Height but in Stature. May his memory always be for a Blessing and may we honor his memory by singing and smiling, two traits that he brought to all of us and have taken with him to Heaven I am sure. ~ Ed Olshansky June 21, 2010 June 23, 2010
