I am so sorry to hear of cousin Ronnie´s passing. We have kept in contact through all the years. I was a good friend of Jeannie´s in high school. Ronnie was very interested in my father´s life and legacy. Ronnie´s middle name was Leroy after my father. As children we would always visit back and forth at Aunt Avia´s or Aunt Millie´s. Audrey, Ronnie´s sister and I were very close growing up. I was raised by our grandmother, Adeli Vogle Wolfe.
I have missed his computer jokes.
I wondered why I hadn´t heard from him and couldn´t reach him by phone. My daughter was able to look him up on line and found his obituary.
My sympathy to his family.
