He is also survived by his sister Faith and Rick East of Springfield. And, his joy of having 17 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.
Ronnie was a very kind and generous man. He always had a joke or story to tell and was never happier when he could aggravate and tease anyone who was lucky to be around him.
