So sorry to hear of Ronnie's passing. O have a lot of memories with him at Curry companies!! Good guy. Sadly missed. 

Ron we had a full life together i would of liked it longer but God was ready for you. You suffered so much with sickness all the time now you dont you can rest peacefully. I love you more than youll ever know youve always been here for me n everybody it just seems strange that your not here now. I miss you more than words could ever say i love you with all my heart n that will never change. Love your wife

One other memory I want to share is from this day pictures below.   

I took my nephew,  Landon,  to the Marigold Festival parade one year.   When I pulled up his wheelchair next to Uncle Ronnie's, all Landon could do was compare their matching chairs.   Uncle Ronnie looked at him and said, "Hey dude! You're getting so big.  We got matching chairs!"  Then Uncle Ronnie shook his hand and that's where they sat most of the parade.   That was one of the few times that Uncle Ronnie got to interact with Landon. 

It was the little moments like that, those are the little things that mean the most to our family that Uncle Ronnie did.  He didn't know he was doing them,  or maybe he did,  but that's what made him so special.   He could take something that had no meaning and make it special.   That's the things we'll remember the most. 

I have so many memories with Uncle Ronnie.   From him sticking up for me with my mother to me having kids and him being a male influence in Logan's life after his father passed.   

Logan and Uncle Ronnie had a special bond, probably because they're both ornery!  Anytime we were around and Logan would do something he wasn't suppose to and I'd yell at him,  I'd hear,  "Leave him alone, he's a little boy!"  I was going through a rough patch and was having a hard time financially after Logan's father passed.   It was around Easter,  so what does Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Debbie do?  Buy Logan a bicycle because Uncle Ronnie said he needed a bike.   

I remember living with Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Debbie for a summer when they lived in Schaeferville.  They had a freaking rooster.  He loved that rooster!  Even though it pecked him whenever he tried to feed him,  clean him,  or pet him,  he still loved that rooster.  It was so funny. 

I'm gonna miss you Uncle Ronnie.   You always gave me good advice.  You were an amazing man who touched more lives than you could even imagine.   I love you

I just wanted to sum up what kind of man ronnie was.Its been 35 to 40 years ago and it is fresh in my mind as yesterday.We were neighbors and i was standing on corner by laundry mat waiting for bus to go swimming. I had thick glasses and i was a sorry looking little kid.None of that mattered to ronnie.These five kids come up broke my glasses and was punching me and kicking me.Next thing i hear is you dirty son of @$€%#.It was ronnie chasing these kids.Iam glad he didnt catch one cause i think he would of put a whipping on him.I didnt no ronnie and he picked me up and found the pieces to my glasses and walked me home.I do not need to say another word except thank you ronnie and rest in peace my friend  

My dad is my best friend theres not a day went by that i didnt talk to my dad i would call my dad if i wasnt able to see him at that time my dad would tease me and tell me i needed to get a friend cause i called so much Lol my dad use to pretend to be an answering machine telling me to leave a message after the beep so of course being me i fell for it and said my message its tonya just checking on you i love you. And finding out that i was talking to dad the whole time.😊 Losing my dad has to be the hardest thing in the world yesterday i caught myself calling his phone iv lived next door to my parents for 17 years and it will never be the same without my dad. I wish i could turn back time so i could tell my dad i love him so much. I will miss everything about my dad. I love you so very much dad 💕

Grandpa took his time to raise us he taught everyone of us grandkids to give your very last to someone if they need it, stay strong when everyone is feeling weak, and most importantly Put everyone else before ourselves ❤️ He was a one of a kind man always gave when someone needed never let anything break him down and always checked on everyone even when he was at his lowest❤️ 
Ill never heal from this Cramp's I'm forever broken 🖤
Please watch over us🙏🖤

So, a person can go through life and have many regrets. I have only one, missing time with my family. Not being there through out the years as an only son should be. Loosing what matters and then realizing it’s too late to go back in time to change it.  Dad, I will forever miss you. However, I know the time we did have, was the most precious to me. Rekindling our relationship, trying to pick up and mend broken pieces. Making me feel as if I was with you the entire time and no moments past at all. That’s what you did. 
You have an amazing soul, kind heart and such a contagious love that makes others want to be around you pop. 
You will forever be my hero. You are the strongest, most bravest person I have ever know. You and mom having over 50 years of love, that’s amazing. You two are soul mates no matter what. 
Pop, I will miss you. More than words. I will think of you, ever time I look into the mirror. I will never forget both the good times and never forget your hugs. I hear the words “I love you son” echo when I sit and reflect that your gone. That’s what helps me know, you are still here. 
Holding your hand, kissing you goodbye and making sure pop, you knew we were all there when you needed to rest, wasn’t good bye, just see you later. 
Pop, I cherished every moment we had. I will do one thing though, I will make sure we take care of mom ok. I promise. 
I will forever miss you. I love you dad. More than words. 


Oh my gosh where do I begin with this"Man that I call My Hero"....You were always my go too person when I was in or had doubt about anything! I will always be forever greatfull to you Dad..When I went through my divorce in 2004 you and mom were right there too help me raise Ronni along with my sister. I miss u like crazy Dad but,I know that your pain free and rejoining with your other siblings up there and finally seeing Grandma Spotser and Grandpa Lee❤️ I promise you this Dad I will definitely make more time for Mother! She misses you extremely bad. I can't tell you enough how much I love and miss u...P.S. let me know when ur needing another haircut and shave,my book is always open for you! Love Vera(Tabitha)

Wow, enough cannot be said about my grandpa..., he would give you the shirt off his back. He would've given you his last dollar. I will never forget the time he gave in and gave me my Christmas present early because he thought I looked "bored". He looked at my grandma and just smiled and laughed. However, one of my favorite memories has always been when he used to wake up at 4am or sooner and we use to sit out on the porch and watch T.V. promo commercials because nothing else would be on at that time. 

I miss him dearly. He was a man you could call and get advice on a car if it was having trouble. You could call him if there was something around the house that was broken and needed fixed. He was a truck drive most of his life so if you ever needed directions he was the one to go to. He let me drive a tractor, he let me drive a dump truck, he let me stay up at all hours of the night and play video games and watch wrestling.  Therefore, grandpa..., know that you are missed and you were and are well loved: you will never be forgotten!

Love & Miss You 
-Little Man 

 

Grandpa has been here for me for the 11 years me and his grand daughter have been together...I didn't ever have a dad growing up and grandpa always made me feel welcome always loved me like his own. He never judged me and he was always there when I needed him. I always enjoyed helping him fix stuff around his house. Grandpa means so much to me and I'll always love him. I don't think I've ever felt the love like grandpa's ever in my whole life. I love you so much grandpa with my whole heart and I'll pass your advice and stories along to my boys when they grow up they'll always know who their grandpa lee was. Love you grandpa and I'll miss you forever love always Josh 

Was a spit fire had so many laughs most patient man ever known miss you buddy rih

My Grandpa Lee will always have a giant piece of my heart. I feel like a huge piece of me is gone now that he is too.  He was always the happiest when he had all of his grand babies around him. I love him so much...I don't have just one favorite memory I have enough to fill a book...I think one of my favorites is sitting with him on his porch or in his yard listening to all of his old stories about all of his old cars he had he always listened to everyone and loved giving advice. And he never ever judged anyone..the best man in the world...I will always miss him 

I will always remember him from the office! He was a funny guy with me , always telling me a story! He will be missed.🐢❤️

My sister‘s husband. I always have and always will love him like a brother. The memory I have is my son Little Louie was about two years old. He got extremely mad. Ronnie started laughing. He looked at me and he said that is you. He can remember me from when I was a baby. He was always good to me. I will miss him very much.
