Ronnie retired from his career at Amoco in Wood River. He served as a deacon for many years at the East Maple Street Chapel in Hartford and is currently a member of the Troy/Collinsville Church of Christ. He was an avid fisherman and hunter. He was also a very talented wood carver and gave many treasured items to family and friends. He loved to play games with his family and loved to eat breakfast at Denny's with his friends. He also enjoyed watching cooking shows so he could instruct Carol on what to make for him. 

He leaves behind a family that loves him very much. We wants others to know that while we miss him, and our hearts ache with this loss, we know he no longer needs the assistance of a leg brace or a walker because he walking streets of gold with Jesus.
