March 8, 2013 at 12:00 amIt was with a great sense of loss when I heard of Ronnie’s death, my heart is truly saddened.
Ronnie was more than just a customer he was a wonderful person; he was always kind and considerate to me and I welcomed seeing him at every opportunity and being greeted with his warm smile. His passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of all those who knew him.
Ronnie and his extended Stone “family” will always remain within my hearts and I have included Ronnie in my prayers today.

March 8, 2013 at 12:00 amI only knew Ronnie for a short time, while surveying the family farm. He impressed me by being a mild mannered and easy going gentleman. It was a joy to work with him and for him. I’m sure such a fine husband and father will be greatly missed.
You have my deepest sympathy.

March 8, 2013 at 12:00 amI was sad to hear of Ronnie’s passing. I do know that he’d had a long, tough fight on his hands, one that he couldn’t win..and I know that Ronnie won pretty much every other fight he came up against.
My company is proud to be a supplier to Stone thanks to Ronnie’s efforts and support. I’ve known Ronnie for close to 20 years. I can remember him chewing me up at our first meeting but he made good points from my perspective and I think he was surprised that I agreed with him on the spot. It was always clear to me that Ronnie was an honest, passionate and shrewd man and that listening to what he had to say and following his suggestions, always lead to success. I thoroughly enjoyed Ronnie and considered him a friend. I’m sorry that I can’t join you this weekend. I truly woould if I could, but my thoughts will be with you.
