Even though a man of few words, you always knew where you stood with Ronnie.  He was likeable, good hearted and always thoughtful, especially with his family. A NASCAR fan, whenever Ronnie was asked about his favorite driver, his only comment would always be “anyone driving a Ford!”  He also enjoyed tinkering with and restoring tractors, watching football, and was a New Orleans Saints fan.  Working in the tractor and auto parts world for many years, Ronnie switched gears to the aircraft maintenance line of work.  He was sought after and respected for his knowledge in the small aircraft field.
