Ron also enjoyed teasing his kids, giving each of them a unique nickname and a song to go along with it.

To Ronney’s family, We enjoyed being with Ron and you at Nancy’s. I’We’re so sorry for your loss. Once Ron got started he was so funny. I’m glad to have known him.
I didn’t know you for very long but I’ve known Andrew for years now. I always enjoyed speaking with you when I’d see you at the store. I’d see you sitting outside when I’d come to visit Doug and we’d visit. I know Andrew is going to miss you so very much. Rest easy
Thank you Dad for everything you have done for your family.
You were there for every birthday and Christmas for your children and grandchildren. We went to every Ku Football home game from 1992 through 2006. Those are some of the best memories of my life.
You were a great baseball player. You chose to be a Father rather than play baseball or do anything else. You never left us. You raised all 3 of your children. Both of your daughters were excellent pitchers because of you. I know how proud you were when people thought Trina was a ringer.
You instilled a sense of competitiveness in me that I have passed down to Sara.
Sara is carrying on your legacy and you will never be forgotten.
I was looking forward to you coming to Sara’s Jr High games this year and watching the Ku Football, Basketball and Royals with you this year.
I’m gonna miss our dinners at Nancy’s together and so much more man.
I love you Dad.
I wish we had more time.
Thank you for being such a dedicated father. When I needed you, you where always there. I miss you so much. You always made me laugh. You always proved how family came first. I can’t believe you’re gone. I love you dad.
Ronnie was a great friend to my oldest son. He came by to see me often, Always enjoyed his company. To his Family I send comfort at this difficult time. May God Bless!!
Ron was my neighbor and my best friend, we went out to eat, went grocery shopping and he was when I lost my little dog, I look over at his apartment every morning and I don’t know when I’ll quit doing that, RIP my dear friend I’ll see you again
To all the family I’m sending you my sincere condolences and prayers for you at this difficult time. He was always so friendly to me.
I’m so sorry for you and your family’s loss, Andrew. May God comfort your hearts in this difficult time.
You were a great dad to my father. We love and miss you so much.
