Uncle Ronnie was very dear to me & was my Favorite Uncle in the world. He had a very special bond with my mom Lillian Long and her children. He was always there wherever we lived growing up. He kept Barb & me many weekends and we were in the best care always with him. I really loved him & he will always have a special place in my heart.
RIP you were an extraordinary man who always brought light when you entered a room. Happiness came with Uncle Ronnie. Always loved & never forgotten. heart

This was a big shock.... my singing uncle received his wings. Sing on Uncle Ronnie, you will always be dear to my heart forever..... not seeing you when I come home will not be the same. Well.... I guess we'll have to get use to it. I will keep on talking like you, keeping everyone laughing at your fun ways. Your presence will dearly be missed. Damita, as you call me "NIECCCCEEE" or HEY Mita!!!!!
