While I never had the privilege of meeting Ronnie face to face, he befriended me while dealing with him at Comtronix. I believe God places people in our lives for specific purposes and Ronnie is no exception. I thank the Lord for his friendship and, after many years of praying for him, he has now entered in to the “joy of the Lord.” My prayer is that God will provide His sustaining grace for Ronnie’s family and friends in the days to come. God bless, Tim Post Bastrop, LA

We called him Ronnie Two Steps – he rented his house on Temple to us when we were still ramping up our careers. That house is a permanent fixture in our memories of youth and fellowship. Ron would be by frequently and always enjoyed sharing stories and catching up. Blessings to Ron, his family and friends.
