Sending my condolences, to Lynn and family! Truly sorry for your loss. 😥 Ronnie was a great person and friend. Loved his witty and dry sense of humor. My husband got some of it, when they first met in Germany years ago. He jumped out of planes, in the Army, and Ronnie’s dry wit came through, when he told my husband something must have been wrong with his head, to jump out of perfectly good planes! 🤣😂 Hubby couldn’t stop laughing. Sending love and prayers plus RIP Ronnie!
