I met R.D. a few years ago and he was helping my grandpa Gene all the time! He was one hardworking man! I remember him calling me that he was my daddy! He sure did act like one! He was our best friend! We used to have fun together all the time! We would we eat out and go places with my grandpa Gene! I miss you RD! Love you!

I will never forget the day RD helped Bo load our downstairs apartment into the trailer to move into our forever home. I got home from
Clinical walked up the steps and RD stood he was unusually quiet and made no eye contact.... hmmmmmm
I get downstairs only to hear from my husband you two didn’t know where our “Indoor” cat KB was.... I found the cat.. I then understood why RD was so quiet ....funny, he was so worried for Bo if we didn’t find the cat.
Miss you

R.D.’s personality was larger than life. I’m thankful for the small window that I knew him. He was as selfless as they came.

Ronnie was real, nothing fake. He would do anything for anyone within his ability to, going out of his way if at all possible. A very good, unique man.❤️
