Shocked to see this 🙁 You and Kevin are the two people I always associated with Borrmann Road and my entire childhood! Craig Ferrie mentioned Eddie (Slob) and now the three of you are gone 🙁 I hope that you are all somewhere sharing stories about all the things we did in our neighborhood and how great it was to grow up there! Rest in peace, my friend 🙁
Rip Ronnie you were the best friend in the world
Rip Ron. You will be missed.
My first memory of Ron was when we were young kids in the Borrmann Road neighborhood and he and my younger brother got into a fight. I was about 10 at the time and punched him in the nose and knocked his bike down. Ron being the class act he was never hit back. Just picked up his bike and ride away.
My last memory of Ron was at Country Kitchen a few years ago. He picked up the breakfast tab for my husband and I without us knowing it until we went to pay.
Always a gentle soul with a heart of gold
Biggest heart and always a big smile! You will be missed!!! RIP❤️
Thoughts and prayers RIP
